Hmmm....
I see what you are saying.
I plan to combination of home school and virtual school my son through middle school. The schools here have the students do world history 6th grade, civics in 7 th grade, and American history 8th grade. And then in highschool you take world history (ap is an option) and American history (ap option) again. Civics is also an available high school class although not everyone takes it. I have been thinking...what is the point of him taking those classes twice if his writing skills are up to the level they need to be because his reading, comprehension and analysis would be high enough to take it high school/AP. The only iffy part is the writing skills under timed conditions.
His writing skills came a long way this past year and he has one more year for them to develop further before I need to worry about this. But it has been something I was thinking about.
