[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who was radically accelerated in math.  The reality is that if your kid is that advanced, FCPS is not logistically equipped to meet your kid's needs.  If your kid is skipped up in math in 1st or 2nd, you'll have many years of your kid needing to be pulled out of language arts class, specials, or even part of lunch to attend the next grade's math class.

If your kid starts Algebra in 5th, then for both 5th and 6th, you would need to either transport your child to the MS every day, which could be a nightmare, or your child would need to take the online class.  But, that isn't the end of it.  Very few middle schools offer Algebra II, and none offer pre-calc.  So, you'd have another 2 years of trying to figure out how to transport your kid each day to another school, or you'd have another 2 years of online classes.

Your best bets are to accept that your kid will be bored out of their mind in school math while taking AoPS classes on the side, or pull your kid out of FCPS for elementary, and instead either homeschool or place your child in a private that is equipped for that level of acceleration.  [/quote] Why don't they accept AoPS courses for credit? They're accredited and better than the FCPS online courses[/quote]
