[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like these always seem to attract the math-phobic liars.  If your child is a 99th percentile type, has been crushing the SOLs for years, easily qualifies for Algebra through the IAAT, and is supported by the kid's 6th grade AAP teacher, the kid will be fine in 7th grade Algebra.  No damage will be done by accelerating the kid.  No additional foundations are needed.  There will be no high school teachers complaining about kids like yours being overaccelerated.

It's absurd to suggest that the same track that is appropriate for above average kids is appropriate for gifted ones.  It's also absurd to imagine that high school teachers are complaining about gifted kids taking Algebra in 7th grade.  [b]To be perfectly honest, kids who are gifted and additionally are taking AoPS or RSM classes probably are smarter and more knowledgeable about math than their high school teachers.[/b]

Wow. One has to wonder why anyone would bother enrolling such children in school at all, given they already know everything the teachers know and more. I bet the teachers all told you that, too, that your child knew more about math and was smarter than they were. Or is your child's unmistakable genius another thing those stupid teachers just don't understand?[/quote]
