[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why AP Com Sci principles wouldn't be offered to 9th graders... it's very introductory and isn't really useful in getting college credit. [b]It's about bringing non-coders into the computer science world[/b]. At our FCPS HS, you are supposed to have Geometry before taking AP Com Sci A. But, if you have coding experience and you are a math-y kid (i.e. honors), you can get permission to take AP Com Sci A as a 9th grader. In Arlington, many 9th graders take AP World History. In FCPS, 9th graders never take AP World Hist.[/quote] So, wait. In 9th grade you are already either a coder or non-coder? And if at age 14, you are a non-coder you should be brought into the computer science world via an AP class? My poor, poor children.[/quote]
