[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid should retake geometry this year, and study Algebra 2 during the year and next summer, and then enroll in precalculus in high school.

You asked for trouble, and you got it. If you don't want it, give it back.

Unless your kid is one of about 5 people in the DMV area in 8th grade, I guarantee you that there are several students with far more advanced math knowledge, who are doing fine with Geometry class in 8th grade (because they don't need the school to drag them through the curriculum).

I never said he is a math genius.  You don't need to be to take basic geometry. And he doesn't need to be one of these five. He will be fine with any number of options before him.

The course was taught in person last year. [/quote]

You don't need to be a math genius to take geometry. But 8th grade Algebra 2 is the path to dual enrollment differential equations in 12th. And you don't need to be a math genius for that, but it helps if you don't want a C.

It doesn't matter whether or not it was offered in person last year. It isn't offered this year and was never supposed to have been.[/quote]

8th grade algebra 2 is the path to dual enrollment differential equations in 11th grade!  What's the plan then for the kid who is too busy with extra curriculars to to to one class a week?

You don't need to be a genius to learn geometry, but you don't need to be a genius to do Algebra 2 on you own over a year either, and then take precalculus at the highschool with all the other classes. [/quote]

Oh, our HS offers multivariable calc after calc BC, but I guess not all the FCPS schools do. [/quote]

Differential equations comes after multivariable.

Algebra II in 8th
Precalc in 9th
Calc BC in 10th
Multivariable in 11th
Differential in 12th. [/quote]No it doesn't. Calc 2 is the prerequisite for diff eq.[/quote]
