[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, isn't the only AP Physics offered at BCC AP Physics C -- which has AP Calc as a pre- or co-requisite?  If that's still the case, maybe that's the reason?

Because it offers an IB Diploma Program for juniors and seniors, with most classes open to non-diploma kids, BCC frequently lacks AP classes offered in other schools that don't offer IB classes.

Are you sure a non-calc based AP Physics is an option at BCC?[/quote]

It varies by the school.  [/quote]

Yes, it does.  But OP says her kid is at BCC and is upset that she isn't being allowed to take a class the school has not offered in the past, and probably doesn't offer now.  So perhaps the best option for OP is to actually make sure the class she feels her kid is unfairly being denied is even offered there.  As someone with a two kids that have gone through BCC, I think the answer is not that her kid is being denied a class, but that she is trying to take a class that isn't offered there. ONLY AP PHYSICS C (a class that requires calc) is traditionally offered there[/quote]
