[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG you sound horrible. Why does it matter and why do you feel so entitled to an exception? This will make no difference to your child's happiness.[/quote]

I'm asking why there isn't consistency across the schools since we all receive the same curriculum and are one school district.  [/quote]
But all schools do NOT offer the same curriculum. Each school has different special programs and electives. Each school also has a different population with different interests and needs. Specific program sequencing can affect which other courses are offered and what grade level.

In your particular case, you have chosen to create a completely atypical path for your child (already has taken Physics and will be in Honors Precalc.) Your 9th grader is going to be in class with 11th graders for Honors Precalc. No need to also try to push into AP Physics 1 also. Just take Honors Biology with the rest of the 9th graders and let your kid make same age friends.

Besides, taking AP Physics C in 10th grade in parallel with AP BC Calculus would be a much stronger choice.[/quote]

My 9th grader took precal.  It was mostly 10th graders, not 11th.[/quote]
