another high school pet peeve:
the high school only has one teacher who is certified (or whatever) to teach pre-AP/honors pre-calc/trig and then calc. Evidently he's no good and even the smartest & hardest working students score 1 on AP calc exam. I asked in DS can take JHU honors precalc online. District says yes (though not jhu--one of their other approved providers), but he won't get honors credit and it'll put him out of the running for valedictorian. So he has to decide whether he wants a good math class or try to be valedictorian.
