[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended a curriculum night this week where they announced the default for 8th graders is going to be Algebra as long as they met one of the following criteria: 1. Earn a C- or better in Math 7 Or 2. Pass the Math 7 SOL Or 3. Score above 60% percentile on the MAP[/quote] If my kid had a C- (what is that, like a 70!?) in math 7 and barely pass the SOL, I would be investing in some quality math tutoring, not trying to accelerate them, that seems like that would compound their mediocrity and cause certain failure in a high school level class. Maybe they should focus more on giving most kids access to advanced math in the elementary years instead of making it so difficult or simplify not offering it to gen ed. That is the best place to start IMO. [/quote]
