If education is so great in China I would just stay there.
I give you a tip : When you migrate, you adapt.
I'd look at it a different way, why are our classes so far behind.?
So far behind by what standard? That is why if China standard is so high why do they migrate here?

This is what they should do for all core academic classes, but the optics would be terrible.

generally outside the US math courses just say "math 1", "math 2", etc even if they are completely different from US integrated math. The school can choose to award whatever amount of transfer credit it wants - it isn't beholden to the name of the course. If there is something it should be beholden to, it would be the actual syllabus of the course.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:As evidenced by the fact that the school gave credit for algebra 1 and geometry.Anonymous wrote:The school has the authority to retroactively award transfer credit in those courses.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Then you should have no trouble quoting the relevant policy or any kind of evidence for this claim.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:But a 9th grader can take APWH, can't they? So why can't OP's kid?Anonymous wrote:You don’t get put into classes based on perceived capabilities, you get put into classes based on what credits you have. Sometimes you don’t have the prerequisite for a class and can’t take it and sometimes your credits don’t transfer from another country. This isn’t personal. A 7th grader for example can never take AP US History, they don’t have the required prerequisite courses. Even if they’re savant level knowledgeable of U.S. history.
This is an accreditation issue - counselors cannot just put a 9th grader in Calc because their mom says they can do that.
Go look up Virginia graduation requirements and math pathways. If a 9th grader (or any student) does not have transferable credits in their transcript for algebra, geometry, algebra 2, they CANNOT just jump into calculus. We are not talking “my kid did math tutoring and can do calculus put him in calculus.” That’s not how accreditation for issuing diplomas works. You have to have credits for the prerequisite courses, period.
Then those are the courses his transcript showed he could receive credit for, not anything higher, and you can not go from geometry to calculus.
