[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the dumbest tangent I've seen on dcum in quite awhile. Of course Calc in 12th is "accelerated." But it's also only mildly accelerated and normal for college bound kids, just like any other AP class. But from the FCPS grid: It's absurd to call Calc in 11th grade "Hyperaccelerated." Accelerating by 2 years is pretty normal for moderately gifted children. It's solidly accelerated, but there's nothing "hyper" about it. The kids taking Calc in 8th or 9th grade are "hyperaccelerated." 11th grade calc is the standard "top track" at most US schools.[/quote] Says the person who doesn't know she lives in a top-5 wealthiest county in USA.
