[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any risk that the number of kids going into 8th grade algebra will be pared back too? Many of the same arguments used to justify slowing kids down from 7th grade algebra could also apply to 8th grade algebra.[/quote] County math staff is on record supporting eliminating of tracking, and wanting to eliminate prealgebra in 6th grade, for equity reasons. Eliminating algebra in 8th would fit with this, as that is what VMPI was doing while they were claiming algebra in 8th. The kids who are not capable of algebra in 8th would not be left behind, so this was really prealgebra in 8th as they admitted in some videos. However, some of the current prealgebra curriculum was taught in algebra class when I was in school, like graphing line equations. [/quote]
