[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid will take AP Lang, AP Lit, AP Seminar, and AP research.   They also will have AP Government, AP European history, and AP USH.  I’m not seeing a problem with doing multivariable also.  [/quote]

[b]PP who wants to set up math tracks[/b] seems to think that kids who are perfectly capable of doing matrix multiplication (and mind you, matrix math underlies both modern communications and large language models aka AI) in high school should be stuck doing algebra based physics extensions because...reasons. PP has yet to answer the question "why limit acceleration."[/quote]

Because the increasing levels of acceleration are creating a toxic environment that doesn't provide a significant benefit for the vast majority of kids.

It's a race to nowhere. There is very little value in accelerating beyond a year (or two on a limited basis).

There’s a lot of value for *my* kids.   Maybe you should parent the kid you have and let other people make the best decisions they can for their kids.  [/quote]
