For some stupid reason, they then had to take Geometry their Freshman Year in HS, and then Algebra II as Sophmores. Seems out of order to me ...
My oldest is a Junior taking Calculus after he tested out of Probability and Statistics.. He'll have Trigonometry his Senior year. Youngest will be following same pattern.
I'd swear I remember taking Algebra I and II in Junior High ... hated Geometry in High School but loved Physics, Calc and Trig.
Me too. Hated the formalistic way they teach geometry. The degree of geometry I care about, mostly trig, was adequately covered in Algebra I/II, and Calculus A/B.
I hated proofs in geometry. Physics was the best.
Calculus before Trigonometry?
Why not just enroll them in a nearby college. They could have Ph.D.s by the time they are 22. Think of how valuable those extra years would be to them in professional experience and total lifetime earnings ( up to a half million or more in total lifetime earnings).
