He was able to take Algebra 2, pre-Calc, AP Calc AB and now AP Calc BC.
Having dyscalculia does not preclude a normal or above-average math track, but you do need to work at it.
New poster and I have the same question. 14 year old with dyscalculia (and Autism, and severe ADHD, and depression)......and I don't give two sh--ts about a normal or above-average math track throughout HS, nor am I willing to work at it. MCPS should re-think this requirement, and don't get me started on SSL hours. Both are good concepts, but not one sized fits all.
