[quote=Anonymous]Odd how different the science progression seems to be at different high schools. At BCC most selective college-bound kids take bio/9th, chem/10th and Physics/11th. I'm not really sure what a student who wants to take AP bio does since the only AP course "allowed" for 9th graders is AP government. So, it would seem that a kid takes bio in 9th and then opts for AP bio again, which seems weird. (But also seems to be the case if you take AP Physics or AP Chemistry, go figure.) AP bio at BCC is a 1 year double period course that only has Algebra I as a pre-requisite. IB bio is also a 1 year double period course but has Algebra I and basic stats as a pre-requisite. Seems hard to believe that RM doesn't allow 9th graders to take non-AP bio if they haven't taken Geometry, if Algebra I is the only pre-requisite for the, presumably, harder AP bio. There is absolutely no need for geometry in Biology class. [/quote]
