[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the problem in attending school focused on Art and high FARMS. It's not likely to offer MVC and Linear Algebra even if kid is ready for it.[/quote]

[b]This is not a real problem. A vanishingly small number of high school students take multivariable calculus anywhere. If it’s that important to you then take your child to community college.[/quote][/b]

MVC should be seen here only as an example. There are many reasons to think that Woodward will have poor class offering - high FARMS typically means not much interest in advanced courses, Arts classes will demand resources, lack of teachers since it will be a new school, ...[/quote]

Art programs are also deisgned in a way which requires taking set of courses. You can't just take one here and there. So it means most Art focused students are not really going to take many higher level courses in this set up. Add high FARMS and then many motivated kids trying to get to WJ for better course ... No way a new school like Woodward is going to offer decent higher level of courses when you see these factors.[/quote]
