[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]
OP, just tell us the grade level and the math course. There are 11000-12000 kids per grade and people move into MCPS all of the time. No one is going to identify your kid based on grade level and math course.

Tell us the two chapters/topics your kid didn't take yet. This board has a ridiculous amount of collective wisdom regarding the math sequence and whether or not certain ideas are actually problematic or not. If you want real advice, you need to tell us a little bit more.[/quote]
