[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a hyperaccelerated kid (AP calc in 8th).  Acceleration is fine, if the kid is fully ready and has no foundational gaps.  Skipping content once you reach Algebra is idiotic.  For most kids, self-studying or using something like Khan academy means that the kid is glossing over the material and retaining very little.

No school anywhere is going to let kids skip core math classes.  The kids who are far ahead either skipped ahead early in ES, or they completed accredited classes at a local college or CC.  They are also generally math outliers and not just bright kids who want to jump ahead.  [/quote]

Is your kid now going to high school for 4 years? If so, what math are they planning to take and how -- just the normal college math classes (like MV Calc, Linear Alg, DiffEq, non-Euclidian Geom, etc) through DE or community college? Or are they heading to college early?[/quote]

NP here. TJHSST offered MV Calc, Linear Alg,  and DiffEq.  There was an analysis class as well.

So MV as a freshman, LA as a sophomore, and DiffEq as a junior? Is Linear Alg a full year course at TJ? Is the analysis something that is taken senior year?[/quote]

I believe it was Calc in 9th,  MV 10th, LAlg 11th,  Diff Eq 12th.   (I'm a new poster, not the one with AP Calc in 8th)
