[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Tracking your child in Algebra 1 in 6th grade statically sets them up for failure. I only suggest this if your child is truly gifted in math. Like savant level. What LCPs and Virginia should do is require rigorous testing that doesn’t allow for a waiver. [/quote] I don't know about waivers, but LCPS had rigorous testing, with pass levels based on correlation with student performance. 82% pass on mock SOL 8 was the requirement before. Possibly 33 questions, and they accepted 27 = 81.8%. Now they have changed it to 82% on SOL 7 to get into prealgebra, with anyone over 90(30 of 33 questions) allowed to take a test to get into algebra. Two Iowa tests, basic math skills grade 8 and algebra, are given.[/quote]
