[quote=Anonymous]I am wondering how many top 3 (5/6 will do, too) private school students put off Algebra 1 until 9th grade. MY DC will not be taking it in 8th next year, and though I know this is for the best, I am concerned about how this will effect DC going forward. School has assured me that although the cohort in 8th not taking algebra is small, the one taking Algebra 1 in 9th expands. Also, how detrimental to DC's college prospects will it be to not have a strong math course behind them? DC does well in all other areas (A-s and B+s) and I think will do better in math by not being pushed too far ahead (DC is very young for grade, along with minor processing and working memory issues). Really I am just looking for some positive experiences and outcomes for those who are similar. I know this is not the greatest of circumstances, and it is stressing me out a bit, so some positive feedback would be much appreciated![/quote]
