[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid entered 9th grade at a Big3 this fall from public as a super accelerated math kid--took algebra in 6th. We quickly found that despite having all As in math (Algebra 1, geometry, Algebra 2), she didn't really know much math. The Big3 math was so much deeper and more difficult than what she was used to in public. After a month we dropped her down a level (from honors precalc to honors algebra 2) and she is doing really well (second year of algebra 2) Now, some of this may be pandemic related and your mileage may vary but in *our* experience, the public school "acceleration" was a mile wide and a foot deep. [/quote] Similar experience here. Kid was in most accelerated math in public middle school and could barely manage the regular level classes in private HS 9th grade. It was eye opening. I was expecting DC to be behind in writing but not math.[/quote]
