[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some FCPS students took Algebra 1 in 6th grade. 
Some students came from private schools where they were allowed on a suer fast math track since ES. I know a 6 grader who's doing AP cal BC this year.[/quote]
How come no one every mentions private schools that allow acceleration at the student's pace like this one? How come AAP is treated as the best option for mathematically advanced kids when opportunities like this exist?[/quote]

If you pay enough money, you can find someone private to do anything you want. Doesn't make it a good idea. Nearly all of these (very few) ludicrously accelerated kids so it by doing the bare minimum at every class level, and then get stuck when they run out of basic math. The kids a few years behind them, who go slower up the ladder but broader than the basic curriculum, are the ones who have super strong math skills. If you're that good at math, your class in school is irrelevant, because your needs far exceed what the schools can provide, even with ludicrous acceleration.
