[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If have to struggle hard to meet the requirements for 7th grade Algebra, it’s more likely they are going to regret accelerating. You want a kid who is very self motivated and reeeeeeally has that foundation rock solid. If that’s not your kid right now, consider holding off. —Middle School Math Teacher [/quote] This makes sense to me. Some kids are really into math and are [i]bona fide[/i] math prodigies. No need to hold them back. But a typical bright kid will not benefit from being pushed way beyond his/her comfort level. It could undermine confidence in math and other areas, especially if the parent isn't able to keep providing one-on-one support, either personally or via a tutor. [/quote]
