[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one topic that parents/students don't realize as they begin to take HS level mathematics courses in middle school (and earlier). Colleges want to see 4 years of mathematics taken in high school. Unfortunately, families don't understand this as they begin accelerating in mathematics and it hurts many students in their future academic years.[/quote] There are plenty of opportunities to spread out math at the end of high school if a kid get in over their head. 2 year calculus (AB and BC), and AP or honors Stats. Padding AI + AA at an IB school like OP. It's only a problem if the kid somehow gets 2 years ahead of what they can handle and doesn't notice until senior year. It appears that OP's kid is in a medium-performing school, and IB is enrichment not acceleration. The kid didn't run out of math; the kid just doesn't like math and is trying to avoid it. [/quote]
