[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in HoCo and we had a special Saturday class for some kids to take compacted algebra 1/geom/algebra 2 in 7th and 8th grade. Regular day math class was used for homework. Took calculus in 10th. A bunch of us are math PhDs now. For the right kid it’s a godsend. As a girl, I might not have selected myself for it, but it was a good fit. This should be more common! One of my kids would probably be right for this, the other probably not. Does MoCo have anything like that?[/quote] SMACs magnet at Blair and Poolesville gets kids to this path (and provides the classes after Calculus). [/quote] Not quite, in practice.. They expect accelerated kids to have already done Algebra 2 like PP did in middle school (either privately, or in WPMS, or by special arrangement with a local high school). Students who try this without preparing in advance generally don't pass the qualifying camp. [/quote]
