[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if your kid is at the same school as my kid. My kid isn't necessarily struggling but it seems like they started out with some pretty esoteric and challenging stuff. At Back to School night the teacher even said they jumped into Set Theory (which she studied in college) because the normal stuff at the beginning of algebra (can't remember what it is) is pretty boring and these are exceptional kids who qualified for algebra so she wanted it to be fun/interesting/challenging from the get-go. My son came home talking about stuff I'd never heard of (aleph null anyone?) - said it gave him a headache and he wanted to tell me all about it so I could get a headache too. He was jazzed though. His teacher posts a ton of stuff on schoology - presentations, classwork, homework, and a video to watch to introduce the next topic. I am emphasizing the importance of staying on top of that.

All that said, the kids think it's a badge of honor to be in Algebra 1 in 7th grade, but in reality it's a high school class. I have heard that plenty of kids drop back to math 7h so if your kid is that stressed out, I'd definitely consider it. The transition to middle school is tough enough.[/quote]
