[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you so concerned that he takes algebra in 7th? It’s ok if he does it in 8th grade. I promise.[/quote] +1 Also, if he takes Algebra in 7, he finishes calculus in 11th. And then has to do college math senior year. Is that what you or he would want?[/quote] If he's ready for Algebra in 7th, there's no benefit to holding him back. Also, kids who love math might resent being ineligible to take Multivariable calc or Linear Algebra senior year. Or they might prefer to be able to take AP Stats without burning an elective slot on it. OP only said that her son was very good at math, but not that he loves it. Being good at math in and of itself might not be a good enough reason to push for 7th grade Algebra. Being good at math and loving math is a great reason to push forward toward the higher track. [/quote] Anything he cannot take in high school he can take in college and probably in a more deeper way. [/quote]
