[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain the FCPS Math Track to me? When I was a kid, it was:

8th - Algebra
9th - Geometry
10th - Algebra 2
11th - Pre-Calc
12th - Calculus

If kids take Algebra in 7th grade, what are they taking in 12th?[/quote]

Multivariate Calculus[/quote]
Why is it so important for children to take that in high school?[/quote]

Some parents will tell you it saves money in college because it is a DE class. For us it is less about the college credit and more about classes that are appropriate for our child. He loves math and is good at it. He asks to do math and is involved in math competitions. Math at school for him has been easy. We want him taking classes that challenge him. That said, we have no interest in summer Geometry for him.

There are families fixated on TJ and see math acceleration as a must. There are families focused on their kids being in everything accelerated and advanced. There are families at Title I schools who see AAP as a way of getting into a better classroom. Lots of reasons.[/quote]
