[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A student who takes algebra 1 in 7th grade will run out of math at my FCPS school.  They will have to take senior year classes at NVCC, online, or skip math entirely.  [/quote]

Sorry, I lied, they could take a "gap year" of AP stats somewhere in the calculus track to not run out of math.  That buys one more year for the 7th grade algebra student.  Most of those kids want to keep going forward though, not side step.[/quote]

I agree that you need to figure out the path.  To get an advanced diploma, kids need 4 years of math IN HIGH SCHOOL, not just 4 years of high school math (please someone correct me if I am mistaken about that).  If that is the case, you need to figure out what math classes will be available in high school for your student.[/quote]

High school math teacher again: This actually isn't true.  You need 4 math credits, total. They could theoretically all be done before entering high school, but then you'd have to explain on your application to college why you haven't taken math for years and years.[/quote]

Thank you for clarifying this; it wasn't clear in the information I was provided.[/quote]
