[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect the numbers at YHS are very similar. I don't know if they are actively discouraging it, but I do know that only a couple of DC's friends (the truly gifted in Math) stayed on the more accelerated path. [/quote] It's also important to consider that staying on that path is not just about whether or not a kid is capable/wanting to keep up the fast pace in math. Math is just one of the subjects they are taking and need to have some balance in the schedule. My DS is truly gifted in math and his teacher said he definitely could handle Calc BC in 11th. But, he's not truly gifted in reading/writing/research and is also taking APUSH and AP English plus AP Comp Sci. So, he opted to take the easy (for him) Calc AB so he'd have more time to devote to the other classes. [/quote]
