[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b]’m pretty sure we heard from this poster a few days ago. I think they want their kid in calculus in ninth grade or something. [/b]I think the counselor is understandably Unsure as to where to place them. Studying over the summer does not constitute curriculum. But I would take the advice here and reach out to the resource counselor and see if there’s a placement test that is available for your child.[/quote]

No, not me. Not pursuing some lightning speed track. DC is placed on the second slowest track. We've already met several average children on faster tracks.

Studying over summer doesn't equate a full year of math, but if the child is only missing two chapters to have a complete coverage of a MCPS curriculum surely it makes sense to fill it in instead of wasting a whole year?[/quote]

Personally I'd take the slower track.  DC has to take math every single year no matter what.  The higher they start the higher they have to go.  If they're not a future engineer, I'd take the easy A and save the energy for other subjects.[/quote]
