[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most students can't handle Calc BC. This is a fact. For those that can and do well in it as a freshman, sorry, but that will help the applicant. It certainly won't hurt. A lot of the snide comments about acceleration are from parents of students who struggle at math and can't grasp the concept that there are exceptional students out there. [/quote] Oldest DC regularly reports to us that many students in accelerated classes don't know basic stuff they were supposed to have mastered years earlier. DC also reports that most kids in advanced classes in AOPS struggle with the material. DC is not a math prodigy and is not in love with math. Having learned all that, we will not accelerate our other kids beyond Geometry in 8th.[/quote]
