Negin Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I cannot seem to find the thread/s for American School - specifically their Essential Mathematics course - the one that most people seem to strongly dislike. Dd completed the first Essential Mathematics course and it was, without a doubt, the absolute worst math course I have ever encountered. At the time, we did not know that she could opt out of it. I wish that we had known this.She has now received the second Essential Mathematics course. I haven't had much time to look at in detail. It looks rather unappealing (yet again). Does anyone have any experience with this specific course? Can she opt out of it? Are there any benefits to just sticking with it? Thank you.

saja1029 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes, you can definitely opt-out of those math classes. All it took was an email:) Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 This might be the thread you were thinking of: American School Math...is it really that bad? Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Sheri and Kareni, thank you. I asked my daughter to look at this course more thoroughly and she said that she's fine with it. So we'll see how it goes. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saja1029 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Just wanted to add, if she needs the review, etc. then those Essential courses may be a good choice. But if not, or if she's already taken prealgebra, what 's the point? My son struggles horribly with math. He completed TT Prealgebra in 8th grade and is now slowly working through AS Algebra 1. I guess my point is, if you don't need the review, move on then. I guess all if this would also depend on the math sequence you have planned for high school.
