So my daughter, a senior, and my son, a 10th grader, have moved to a new state last year (8/07). We have now learned that the college classes she has taken will not count for the high school credit for English and Math. She has just 9 more credits to finish up an AA.
In CA, where we used to live, PreCalc at the college, counted for PreCalc at the high school also, etc. The high school here won't recognize math and English credits from the college, despite 2 of the nearby universities granting her credit for all of them, fulfilling their requirements.
Also, my 10th grader is wanting to take Calc I at the college instead of AP Calc, because next year he will be taking Calc II and Calc III at the university. The university uses the same book for all three levels, and even students who have scored 5s on the AP BC Calc have said that he should take it there, or he'll just need to start at Calc I at the univ.
Problem again, he'll receive no high school credit for the Calc I.
He wants to also do this with Physics which he is told he must take AP Physics, not Physics at the private or state universities, if he wants high school credit.
Also, he placed out of Freshman college English with the CLEP, but they want him to take 3 more years of high school English or, again, he receives no high school credit for the CLEP or any college English classes he takes at his level which I think is about a junior level in college. (I will have him continue testing with CLEP to verify this).
Did I mention that I'm paying for all of the testing (CLEP, COMPASS, etc) and courses the school doesn't provide? They did mention a high school test for math they can try to place out of provided at another district, but no to English. Each test is about another $100.
Something is wrong here...please, please advise me...
