[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS middle school has a third of the class taking Algebra in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th. But yeah, keep telling yourself that you're paying $30,000 a year for "depth."[/quote] With DCPS you need to very careful about how they label their courses. We recently had the experience of a DCPS 8th grader applicant shadowing my DD in her 9th grade Geometry class. She expressed surprise that my DD's class was doing proofs in Geometry because her teacher "did not believe" in proofs. Just because they are both called Geometry may or may not mean that the experience and what the kids learn is comparable.[/quote]
