[quote=Anonymous]Some kids are fully ready for Algebra in or even before 7th. Making them take M7H when they've already mastered all of the pre-algebra concepts will do nothing for their algebra foundation. I don't like the idea of restricting access to early algebra for the kids who absolutely belong there, just because some kids or families are making poor decisions. I'd prefer to have them use a much more comprehensive test and make it significantly harder to test into algebra if they're worried about unready kids in the program. Or, I'd prefer to have them force any kid who doesn't at least earn a B, B+ or whatever in 7th grade algebra to retake it in 8th. Or there could be a rule that any kids in 7th grade Algebra who don't at least have a B or whatever at the end of the first quarter are automatically dropped into M7H.[/quote]
