[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] You’re also going to see a good deal of students receiving lower grades on HS transcript bc they aren’t ready for the super accelerated sequence this puts them on. OP - my child has nearly identical scores and we opted out. I’m very comfortable with the decision and have zero concerns about DC appearing “second tier” by comparison. This is going to be a train wreck when these kids get to high school and I suspect a lot of math inclined kids are going to end up hating the subject. [/quote]
