[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We used to live in Fairfax County, but now live elsewhere.[/b]  DS is -- as I mentioned before -- participating in an outside course of independent study, in addition to attending school and participating in sports and music programs.  He studies courses beyond his grade-level as part of his participation in the outside program.[/quote]

Well, that explains a great deal. Nationwide, more and more kids are taking Algebra I as early as 5th grade. Your scenario makes much more sense to me now. Thanks![/quote]

He took Algebra I and Algebra II through JH CTY. [/quote]

I know lots about their program as my kids have taken math courses through CTY as well. But FCPS would not accept the courses for credit.[/quote]

He is not taking them for credit, he is taking them to learn Algebra I (A in course) and Algebra II (A in course so far).[/quote]

So he is not taking the courses for school but for fun. My kids have done similar fun things. My oldest has done math and computer science things for fun. My youngest has done math and physics for fun. Lots of kids around northern Virginia have done similar things.

And both of my kids are girls, western European heritage.[/quote]
