[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This is really strange that if an AAP kid from 6th grade couldn’t qualify for Algebra 1 they have to take Maths 7 honors. And DC says maths 7 honors is nothing but 6th grade AAP. He is redoing it. He feels that he flunked that’s why redoing. Why an AAP kid has to take IAAT test and advance SOL so as to take Algebra 1. What’s the benefit of being in AAp and doing pre algebra in 6th grade. They were basically coached and taught to be ready for Algebra 1. Why these barriers to cross by these poor kids. So basically AAP is till 6th grade. [/quote]

The IAAT and Pass Advanced on the SOL requirement is to make sure that the kids understand the material well enough to have success in a high school class. Algebra 1 Honors is a high school class. Asking kids to take a class two years early is a lot. If you don’t have the foundation nailed down, you are hurting a kids chances of success in Algebra 1 and every other math class down the road.

There are AAP offerings for LA, Social Studies, and Science that AAP kids take without having to test in. But Math is a different beast because the ask of the student is different. [/quote]
