[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is a troll post, but I’ll post anyway, just for posterity.

Private high school freshman is taking accelerated algebra 2 and honors physics, and a seventh grader taking advanced algebra 1.

Those are the normal accelerated tracks for their grade. There are a handful of kids who take more advanced maths in their grades, but it’s rare.

If your kid is really THAT advanced in math, private school seems like a much easier place to work with rather than public school. If the kid is ready, they make it happen. [/quote]

Does this mean that Algebra 2 and Physics are the routine courses for ninth graders at your kids' school?  But your kids are in the "honors/highest" level of the tracks?  And geometry is standard in 8th grade?  And is accelerated different from advanced?

I think different schools just plot their courses differently.  Our friends' kid is at NCS and I remember her telling me they take physics in 9th grade (which seemed odd to me, based on my own experience a million years ago in a different state, with bio in 9th, Chem in 10, Physics in 11, and AP options in 12 as the "accelerated" track -- most kids took Bio in 10).[/quote]

This is slightly off topic, and it doesn't make sense to me either, but there seems to be a growing shift to move physics to 9th grade.[/quote]
