I guess my other question would be about the concurrent enrollment in AlgII/Geometry. Is this a double block? Or simply accelerated pacing and compacting?
I'm not sure that kind of pace would have been okay for my DD. Maybe in algebra II, but Geometry, she actually seemed to need the time for the info to percolate or something. Whatever that process was, anyway. She didn't DO anything, mind you, but clearly some stealth learning process was occurring, because she did well later on when "learning" the material at a pace that was clearly superhuman. ANYway.
For seriously mathy kids, a 2X pace might be good, but I'm thinking that for most MG kids, it would NOT-- at least not when coupled with the other acceleration involved.
Unless... they are offering it as a double block, such that the geometry is the "math" class, and tacked onto that is the "elective" course, Algebra II. That way both classes run at the normal rate, and there is plenty of instructional time.
Or... with that double block, make pacing 2x so that geometry is first semester, and algebra II the second.
