[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child qualified, and I am really surprised by the number of kids we know that qualified but are opting out. I would guess that a child who scored pass advanced on the 7th grade SOL and 91% or higher on the IAAT has mastered the math 7 material and is prepared for Algebra. [/quote] My son scored 98% on the IAAT and 587 on the 7th grade SOL, but we opted out. He could certainly do regular Algebra I, but I Algebra I Honors is much tougher and I don't see how the compacted math curriculum in ES would have adequately prepared most kids for the class. Most people I know who put their 7th graders in it pulled them out or had them repeat it, and I haven't heard anything good about any of the Algebra I H teachers in the middle school. The one my daughter had was awful and showed disdain towards any kid who wasn't an absolute math genius. [/quote]
