[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Take honors Alg 2 in 9th and the honors precalc in summer school. [/quote]

This is so dumb. These poor kids [/quote]

No, the kids doing this [b]are fully capable[/b]. The curriculum generally is severely watered down and way below the abilities of many.[/quote]

OP's child hasn't even taken Algebra yet and she is already planning for math brilliance.  [/quote]

That is fine. She knows her kid while you don't. [/quote]

Maybe, but the question suggests otherwise.

"My kid is taking Algebra in 7th; how do I get them into Calculus I 10th" is a very, very different question from "My kid is taking Algebra in 7th, but Prealgebra was easy and boring and they scored a 270+ on MAP-M in 6th; how do I get them into a class that will teach them something?" [/quote]

This exactly.  Wanting a kid to double up because they love math and it keeps them motivated as an IEP accommodation is far different from acceleration just to be able to tell the neighbors “Larlo is three years above grade level and far beyond her peers”.  The way this post was originally presented had nothing to do with the kids interest or ability in math and only about reaching a specific class in a specific grade.[/quote]
