Is your kid really bored in the 6th grade AAP math? [b] Is your kid likely to want to take post-AP calc classes?  [/b]If the answer to both of those is "Yes," then your kid should take Algebra next year.  Otherwise, waiting until 8th is fine.  [/quote]

Whoaaaa Nelly. 
You were fine with the point about 6th grade math. 
Please let us take it one chunk at a time. [/quote]

Unfortunately, 7th grade Algebra is the gatekeeper for post-calc classes.  If your kid does not jump on the 7th grade Algebra train, then it will be impossible to take post-AP calc classes without summer school or doubling up.  Yeah, it stinks to have to think about what your child might want to take in 12th grade when your child is a 6th grader, but that's the way the system is set up.  If you have a kid who is really into math, then it's a good idea to keep open that door to higher classes.  If your kid doesn't overly love math, it's not a big deal to give up that opportunity.
