I just got tired of seeing nothing new on the high school forum, so I started this new topic. We only have 7 weeks of school left--one of which the high schoolers have off for testing. Only the juniors do NCLB testing, so freshmen, sophomores and seniors have the week off. Crazy!

DS will be only starting HS next fall. I am curious as to when we will receive more info, if his selction of courses has been approved etc.
DS will take Calc 1 at the local collegec starting beginning of May. We know the prof. and he did allow him to audit the class, take all the test etc. but not for grade.
No summer camps chosen yet, should get on it right away.
We have spring break this week, so sweet laziness...

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.

DS12 in 8th grade filled out his request forms. I'm way out of the loop for knowing if the honors teachers are 'good' or not, and I'm enjoying my months of blissful ignorance.
Summer is CTY, for the first time. I sure hope DS enjoys himself, after all the work he did on SATs.
Cym - that stinks, but you know what? Go for the good class! Or - if you think your kid can stand it...do both LOL! I know mine couldn't - so it's easy for me to joke.
Smiles,
Grinity

Grinity--I bet he'll love CTY. I had 2 do that last summer and they both loved their programs. Hope it goes well!
I only have DS10 doing it this summer and he's in the 5th/6th grade program so he wouldn't intersect with yours.
