[quote=Anonymous][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]

Despite others disagreeing, I get what you're saying.  I wish I had more insight into the number of families opting out.  We know the number of students offered spots at our school, and many have accepted. How many kids were not offered spots and will remain in "normal" AAP 6th grade math?

My DC is interested in taking it eventhough our family thinks it's a bad idea.  Kids want to stay with their friends and go with the crowd.  Just like being selected for AAP or not, kids are going to talk about who is in Algebra and who is not.  Sigh.

It's encouraging to see others are not in favor of the program, but I think many on this thread were not offered spots.  It's likely many eligible kids are from striver  families that will keep their kid in without questioning things.[/quote]

My kid is going into 8th grade, so it was not an option for us. I would have liked to have had the option. We would have discussed how the class is being taught and made a choice based on that. DS would have been able to handle the material, but I am not sure that we would have been happy with an online class. [/quote]
