[quote=Anonymous]Here's a thought--maybe less acceleration and more timely fundamentals in math in APS. My kid repeated APS Alg 1 intensified in 8th (he had an A in 7th in it--but then a private high school exemption exam that spring he scored a 58% that spring :lol: ). We saw the content wasn't there even if the grade was. He switched to a tough private HS for 9th and did very well, extremely easy in Honors Geometry and is sailing through Alg2/Trig this sophomore year. I think people need to ease off acceleration, especially post-Covid. My 8th grader in APS is doing well (A this quarter) in Intensified Alg1 (first time taking it)--but I have no idea if this is due to the standards base grading (keep on trying and correcting tests) or an actual representation of where he stands. I did notice that his math inventory dropped. [/quote]
