[quote=Anonymous]We are not in the DMV - 
DS was in the magnet program in ES for 3rd and 4th, the only years it was offered. That meant he skipped 3rd grade math and went from 2nd to 4th. In spring of 4th grade his teacher reviewed the math progression chart with us that went through 12th grade and we had to decide then if he would double skip. That would have put him in Algebra in 7th and Geometry in 8th (taken at the high school). In 12th he would have had to duel enrollment with a CC or online class because the school only offers through Calc BC. We decided to keep him on his track at that time and now in 7th that seems like a good decision. Going to the high school next year would have been really challenging and while he's STEM oriented, and getting straight A's, I don't see the need to push past where he is based on his cohort - there are no 7th graders that double skipped. In HS there could be some doubling up, but I think he will keep on his current track. So yes, I had to sit there and decide when my son was 9 years old what his math track looked like for the next 9 years, was wild at the time. [/quote]
