[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The standard in private school is Algebra 1 in 8th. A few are accelerated to A1 in 7th, but almost none in 6th. Some public school systems are willing to accelerate much more routinely. I'm not sure what the point is -- anyone who needs post-calculus would benefit from taking a more in depth class in college.[/quote] The obsession with doing post calculus work in HS is silly—I’d argue that’s true even if your kid will likely be a math major (and you’d have to start thinking about that at a very young age which I also think is silly). You will get more in depth post calculus classes in college. [/quote] Agree and we have a neighbor at a top engineering program that makes kids repeat those classes (Multivariable calc etc) because it’s so they are so uneven across high schools. My vote: Just wait and take in college when you aren’t in a school 35 hrs a week and in a million extra curriculars [/quote]
