[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a lot of misinformation in just a handful of posts. The goal remains to have all kids take Algebra by 8th Grade, so it certainly seems likely that all MS offer algebra. What they are slowing down on is the super acceleration, something like Algebra in 6th grade. This is obviously something you need to work out because if your child is doing well in IM it would be silly to repeat it next year. [/quote] I'm the PP who stated colleges look down on middle school algebra, and this is essentially what I meant to say. I myself took 8th grade algebra as part of an accelerated MCPS program almost 20 years ago. Sixth grade algebra is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion, and the county would do well to offer some kind of accelerated math class to 6th graders so that they do not have to repeat a course, but save algebra for 7th or 8th grade.[/quote]
