[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if your kid is an unusual math genius or not, but it's not really that wise to take Alg 1 hns in 6th grade. My kid qualified to take it in 7th. We actually declined (his choice) and waited until 8th grade. He's in Alg 2 hns now, and while he is doing well, it's hard! Think down the road to what you are putting your child on track for. S/he will max out of math classes by junior year or earlier if your one to push for Grom in summer. Teachers know that parents want to push kids into Alg 1 as a way of resume-building for TJ. They will resist your push unless they have seen an extra-ordinary math capability. If not, practice accepting that your kid is not your race horse. [/quote]
