[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of an 11th grader, in hindsight, it seems like a program to accelerate math in 3rd and 4th grade so that Algebra can be taken in 7th or 8th.  This allows a student to have Calculus and take some other AP classes that have an Algebra 2 prereq.  All other subjects seemed to have slightly higher standards from 3rd to 6th grade, but then in MS, AAP and HNs are the same and by HS, it makes no difference whatsoever.[/quote]
Compared to international standards, AAP math is gen ed, and fcps gen ed is considered remedial math.  If they took out subjectivity out of AAP entrance criteria, [b]most math oriented kids would easily learn the AAP math and progress towards completing calculus by high school, and be ready for college majors that need calculus[/b].

Plenty of kids take calculus in high school, there's no shortage.  But it's not for everyone - there are some people with blinders on who don't realize that not every child needs or should have acceleration. [/quote]
