[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OPP you have to take Honors Algebra 2 to be in Honors PreCal next at our school (Poolesville).  If you take regular then you either take regular Pre Cal or Honors Algebra 2 the following year.[/quote]

I don't think this is correct, the prerequisite is algebra 2 and teacher recommendation, if the teacher is recommending switching to honors mid year, odds are good the second semester alg 2 teacher would also recommend honors pre cacl.  Check with the counselor.  Anyway, no one would take honors algebra 2 after successfully completing algebra 2. [/quote]

Thanks.

If you google PHS pathways... the recommended pathways are either non-honors pre-cal or honors algebra II- but maybe it's different at different schools.[/quote]

But there actually isn't a pathway that includes algebra 2 -> hon algebra 2 (there is two-year algebra 2 which is different) and I don't think that would be possible because it's two credits for the same material.  And, I'm not saying it's a standard pathway, just that it shouldn't be prohibited, and the fact that the student is already being recommended to jump track, is a sign that an exception is probably in order.  Honors track requires teacher approval, but the only prerequisite is an algebra 2 credit.[/quote]

There absolutely is a pathway from algebra 2 to honors algebra 2 but feel comfortable in thinking they are the same class when your kid gets into honors pre-Cal.  Let me know how it works out.[/quote]
