[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a win win (I'm the PP before who said you can always retake). Since most take Algebra in 8th, you have the chance to try it this year and see how your kid does. If they struggle from the get go, then you move down to pre-algebra 7th grade and retake as an 8th grader with the majority of their classmates. No harm, no foul. But the teachers are usually pretty good at predicting who will be successful in the class- they are fairly strict (and have gotten stricter in the past few years) about who they put in the class, so if your DC is excited to take it I'd let them go. Contrary to popular belief a B+ will no doom your kid to a life of community college and a career at Mcdonald's. You can also get a tutor to help before quizzes if that will help boost confidence. I've been doing that for both my High Schoolers since Algebra 1 and it's helped them feel ready for each test. [/quote] That’s encouraging! Thank you! [/quote]
