[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not. Exactly what percentage of Russians and South Koreans and Poles and Chinese are taking Algebra in 6th and 7th grade? I doubt that the number is as high as you all think. The elite and people who can afford the tutoring and prep are pushing STEM in many countries. This is not a wide spread thing and if you think that it is, I have a bridge to sell you for a low, low price.[/quote] There's probably a higher percentage than you might imagine. If math is emphasized in the curriculum and taught correctly, with a focus toward problem solving and true understanding, there's no reason why kids wouldn't generally be ready for Algebra by 7th grade. There's no reason that kids intrinsically aren't ready or mature enough to tackle Algebra in 7th. The reason many aren't ready is that math is often taught poorly from K-6. [/quote]
