[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is a math-y kid and he qualified and wanted to take Algebra in 7th so I “allowed” it. He’s in middle school now so I’m trying not micromanage his course selection process. My middle guy I already know, will not want to take Algebra in 7th and that’s fine with me. I went to an Ivy League college myself so I generally feel confident in the academic decisions I make for my children and for me - it’s not a focus on rote stuff and it’s more of a focus on the long game even when at times that’s hard around here. It’s encouraging a love of learning that’s important for me. Some of these other people I think want their kids to do better than they did and they push them harder or something. Whereas I think intrinsic motivation is important. I would never feel lesser if my kid didn’t take Algebra in 7th when others maybe do. I think some kids do better having more time to progress in math. [/quote]
