[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fear not taking Algebra 1 as a 6th grader now when it is now offered quite liberally and taken by so many students, would put a student behind their peer group. So students might end up in tiers like: 1) Students in AAP + Algebra 1 in 6th 2) Students in AAP 3) Students in General Ed And this would continue into HS. [/quote] The top tier colleges are looking for kids who took Calculus, they are not looking for anything beyond that. FCPS is already an anomaly with 7th grade Algebra, it is just becoming more of one with 6th grade Algebra. The peer group is still going to consist of most kids taking Algebra 1 in 8th grade and a decent number in 9th grade. The kids who are waiting until 7th for Algebra are going to be just fine.[/quote]
