[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest issue is that now to keep our kids with their math peers we are forced to participate in the 6th grade algebra 1 experiment.[/quote]

No one is forcing you. Just opt out. Say you are fine with your child being in AAP math. It is probably an email or a phone call.

DS is a strong math student. He was involved with his schools Mathcounts team in MS. His coach commented that he was going to be really strong as an 8th grader in Algebra II. I commented that he would be in Geometry in 8th grade. The Coach commented that they figured that he would take Geometry over the summer and was baffled when I said no, he had vacations planned and was going to some camps. Too many people give in to peer pressure and accelerate when they don't have to. Down time, camps, and time with family is more important than getting ahead in math by another year. DS is fine taking Calculus in 11th grade and not 10th grade.

You choose your kids path, hopefully with input from them at this age. You can say no to additional accelerating. [/quote]
