[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a warning that stepping down from intensified Algebra isn't as easy as it sounds. My DD had a terrible experience in Intensified Algebra in 7th grade, we knew it was bad news within the first week (mostly it was the teacher - he liked to use scare tactics & shamed kids in front of the class for being late or not having their homework done. Even though my DD wasn't the one being shamed it caused her tremendous anxiety). I had to go through a whole process to get her stepped back down to pre-Algebra, and the school was not happy about it. This was a couple of years ago, they are starting to back off the push of kids into higher math early - but they clearly wanted high performing kids to go further faster and didn't like me wanting to press pause. I ultimately got her moved, but it required more than just asking for it. She thrived in intensified algebra in 8th with an excellent teacher.[/quote] Yikes good to know. [/quote]
