[quote=Anonymous]My kid struggled to get a B in Hon Alg 2 first semester of sophomore year. He went to on-level Alg 2 second semester and it was much better. This year (11th grade) he's in on-level pre calc and doing really well (got an A first quarter and on track to get an A this quarter), in part because he has a good teacher. We know some kids at his school who have a different teacher and are struggling. The math dept sent out an email about course selection and said students in on-level pre calc who want to take calculus in 12th grade should select Calculus with Applications, which is considered an honors class. They do not recommend AP calculus (inc. AP Calculus AB), even if you're getting an A or a B in regular pre calc. DC is likely going to take AP Stats next year. He's not looking at highly selective colleges or to major in STEM, so this feels like the right path for him. I know highly selective schools often want to see calculus on the transcript even for non-STEM kids. [/quote]
