[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont understand who would subject their kid to that. what's the point?[/quote] For a kid who is both interested in math AND good at math, Geometry in the summer usually facilitates taking a more advanced math class in their senior year. In turn, this can both (a) improve the admission lottery chances into a college STEM program & (b) better prepare the student for math in college. As a bonus, it sometimes reduces “learning loss” between the regular school year Algebra courses, because they do not discontinue algebra studies for 12 months.[/quote] This is about right. [/quote] Without taking summer geometry you can still take BC Calc junior year and Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra or Differential Equations senior year. There aren't that many kids who need to go beyond that in HS and FCPS isn't equipped to teach beyond that any way. [/quote]
