[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS Geometry teacher - there is a lot behind these numbers, though. My students who keep up with their homework and study seriously for their tests generally score in the 90s.  Those that don't are generally in the 80s, sometimes lower (this past unit had more 70s than normal and a few that were lower). Also, the units do get progressively harder as they build and require accessing prior theorems/definitions and more complicated proofs.

I don't feel like any of my students were improperly accelerated, none are totally over their heads. [/quote]

Question for teacher- do you see a lot of kids coming in your class having already taken geometry before they take your geometry class?  I was surprised by the number of parents I know that had their kids take algebra over summer they said so then could be easier and “be review” during school year.  Was curious if folks keep this up or was it a TJ plan before TJ now a lottery?[/quote]
Teachers would not necessarily know if students had seen the material before via AoPS and/or other similar programs. AoPS exposure is more common than pre-taking a traditional summer course.[/quote]
