[quote=Anonymous]I wish schools would differentiate the sciences like they do math.  A lot of science is math based.  We offer 2 year Alg 2 for the kids that need a slower pace.  AB Calc covers less material than BC Calc.  In theory, BC Calc could be a DP for some kids.

DS attends Churchill.  He's a math/science kid.  There's no reason that AP Chem needs to be a DP for him.  But that's all that's offered.  I wish schools would offer 1 section of a single period class.  Would it be that difficult to get the course format from RM and implement it at Churchill?  It's the same for Physics C--both are year long classes at Churchill.  At other schools, Mech and E/M are combined into a single year long class.  So while not coded as DP, that's in essence what it translates to.  It takes up too much time in the schedule for the kids who don't need that much time.  Now, if they were to offer a DP AP Lang class with extra time for support, I'd be all over that!  Different kids need different things.  I don't think asking for a single section that offers the anomaly schedule is unreasonable. [/quote]
