I am wondering how a student be invited to take functions? Will there be an assessment in the beginning of the school year? My DC is taking H. Geometry in their 8th grade. Without taking Algebra 2, I am wondering if they would be considered / tested at least? Thank you in advance![/quote]

Their teacher might recommend them. (That is the case at TPMS). Or, they may be recommended during the summer camp experience. [/quote]

Presumably they also have to indicate that they want to do it when they register for courses? I think mine could be recommended but I encouraged him to select precalculus instead. Is there a chance he could be recommended regardless?[/quote]

If he's recommended for functions you can put him in precalculus.  If he hasn't had algebra, it's not likely he will be recommended for functions, and it would be very hard for him to be successful in that class. [/quote]
