[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid: (including HS for those who asked)

6 - Algebra I
Summer - Geometry
7 - Algebra II/Trig
8 - Precalculus
9 - BC
10 - Multi/Linear
11 - Diffy/Complex
12 - AP Stats[/quote]

So far mine took,

4 - Algebra I

6 - Algebra II/Trig
7 - Precalculus
8 - Calc BC

Is this official enrollment or self study? If the former, how did you get the school to agree to algebra placement in 4th grade?[/quote]

The more important question is WHY would you get the school to agree to this?  What a mistake.[/quote]

Artificial acceleration is the golden ticket to TJ.[/quote]

What makes acceleration 'artificial?'  If the kid is hyperaccelerated, but is also cruising through all of the classes with zero issues and perfect grades, then the kid is exactly where they belong.  [/quote]

Clearly they mean the dirty kind of acceleration that isn't available to everyone and requires $$$ for outside enrichment.[/quote]

Or...maybe just parents teach their kids?  My son is doing algebra I  in 6th, but to be honest, he could have started on 5th easily, maybe 4th.  He pretty much knows all the content already plus geometry.  My spouse sits down with him about 10-20 min a day most days and they do math together.  They’ve done this since 2nd grade because he seemed to enjoy it. That is all. We’ve spent zero on math enrichment and hours per day.  But I didn’t see a point in formally pushing for algebra before 6th grade.  What’s the race? [/quote]
