[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had a kid who took precalc in 8th? If so, what did they do? Functions (figuring more content), or is there an option of moving to Analysis? [/quote] Asker: Is your kid on this track? This is extremely rare -- less than 1 kid per middle school school per year, on average. No one else's experience would be relevant; you need to meet with the school and teacher. That's either Algebra 1 in 5th (I know 1 kids across multiple schools who did this), or doing a quick Geom in the summer (because of the meme that Geometry is a waste of time dead-end that no one needs to learn). Skipping HS precalc depends a lot on whether the kid truly mastered precalc (like, qualified for USAJMO, or AOPS Academy / Alcumus scores vouches for mastery), or skated by in a rush and should use 9th grade to solidify the understanding in Functions.
