[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I simply do not understand this mindset. DS is 7th grade. He’s smart (not a genius) and motivated and likes math. He’s currently taking algebra 1. He wants to be on track to take Calc 1 as a freshman. He would do this by self studying geometry and taking algebra 2 in 8th grade. I met with the middle school today and the principal said absolutely not. The school doesn’t allow kids to “skip” classes. As they should not He could enroll in a class at MC over the summer take geometry send the credit to MCPS but he can not self study DS wants to do this because his older brother who is 17 and older brother’s friends have inspired him. They love math and are on very accelerated pathways. I’m floored that the middle school doesn’t encourage kids who want to do more and push themselves. Is this common? [/quote][/quote]
