They had also given him permission to take Earth Science independently through one of their providers. So next year, he'll have really already taken most of that subject.
No they haven't changed their policy, but I thought maybe if it was a college level class they would look at it and realize that he could skip another level. I'm just thinking ahead and trying to avoid boredom that will lead to problems.
If they know that your DS took Earth Science last year, why do they want him to repeat the same subject next year? May be he can pass the end of the year test in this subject and skip it?
What does your school teaches next?
Frankly, I don't think this will make things better from the academic point of view, your DS will still be bored, because the pace will not change. Is homeschooling an option for you?
