[quote=Anonymous]I agree school won’t have authority to waive freshman Bio due to state requirements. I know someone who got permission to skip honors chem to go into AP chem but that child had been home schooled. Not sure the AP would be helpful in that argument or not. If it’s physics, you don’t need to take the easier physics before taking the harder physics APs, so could just jump into those. I think a bored 8th grader would be better off just doing outside reading and experiments and such at home. It’s not hard to double up on science classes from 10th grade on. My kid is doing it this year (if you count comp sci as a science, is takkmg 3 sciences). My kid is at a top 10 college and they required kids to take their own science placement test to test out of the first level science classes. Lots of kids that took the AP and got 5s could not do it so are taking the intro level as freshman. [/quote]
