[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realize that this may change in the future due to VA proposals. Currently, what makes a child eligible to take Algebra in sixth grade? Anyone whose child took this path, and now wish they had waited?[/quote] I don't know if all schools do this, but my friend's elementary school places kids on the basis of their performance in the classroom. For instance, my friend's daughter has had nothing but perfect SOL scores, gets nothing wrong on any of her tests, and I think scored in the 99th percentile on her IAAT. Her sister, who is slightly less gifted than her (and older) did not score as high, and was not offered that option. I know that at the start of the year, her mom despaired about the Algebra class, not so much because her child couldn't handle the material, but because the teacher is having a hard time with kids with such a wide age ranges, and her daughter was having a hard time with the teacher.[/quote]
