[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't 4 years of English a graduation requirement?[/quote]

He got credit for honors 9 and 10 during middle school.  In addition to what he has taken in high school is already over graduation requirements, but I’m more concerned with college admissions [/quote]

I've never heard of this. Do you live in another region of the country? [/quote]
I’ve heard of kids advanced so that they skip grades entirely and are HS freshmen at age 10 or whatever [/quote] If you believe 10 year olds can take high school English, why is OP's story of a 12/13 year old taking high school English so hard to believe?[/quote]

It’s hard for me to believe because in my district English is used to define grades: a senior is defined as a student who has passed English 11 and Algebra 2 and accumulated 18 Carnegie Units. You can’t graduate without English 12 but you can graduate in 3 years if you meet all the graduation requirements. Thus if you accelerate English, as OP’s kid did, you switch from being advanced for your grade (in the class of 2025) to being young for your grade (in the class of 2024). It’s terrible if this was allowed to happen to OP’s kid without them understanding it, because it would mean they will accidentally graduate from high school this month and they obviously are not prepared for that.

Did you consider that maybe OP doesn't live in your mysterious district? Are you even in DMV? [/quote]
