[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont understand who would subject their kid to that. what's the point?[/quote] The only time it makes sense to me is a “standard track” kid who wants to get the IB diploma. It is a requirement to take through algebra 2 and then fit in two years of IB math. If a kid takes algebra in 9th grade (sometimes due to moving and credits not transferring, coming from another country, or just going slowly through middle school), they must do summer geometry to get on the IB track. I have had a very small number of kids successfully opt for this. Ive had a tom more do it to needlessly accelerate beyond calculus, to “look better for TJ applications”, or to catch accelerated friends. Some of them do fine, others find themselves over their heads or come out the other side with weak skills and a really painful summer.[/quote]
