[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of dropping down in rigor?  Sacrificing high school education in hope for a better/safer college result?

I don't think it's worth it.  As long as you can maintain B and above, I would go ahead and challenge myself.

You may end up at a slightly lower ranked school but you will be much better prepared for college.  And college performance is where you should care about the most.

T20 or T50 doesn't make too much difference.[/quote]
The purpose is that with math, [b]it benefits kids to have a very strong foundation before moving up a level[/b]. Some kids benefit from a slower intro of new concepts and speed of is e even if they end up in same place later.

Our school district found the heavy push in acceleration in middle school had worse outcomes in high school then when they backed off.  Too many kids were pushed ahead without clear grasp of algebra basics.

This is not the OP's case.  OP is freaking out by an A-.  If it's a C that is concerning.  Since when A- is a sign for lacking strong foundation?  [/quote]
