[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think it’s nuts and that there are far fewer kids truly prepared for that level of advancement than those who get it in this area. Both my kids were on that track, then ds faltered in 7th grade algebra and I had him repeat it in 8th and pulled his younger sister off that track as well. They’re both on track to do calculus as HS seniors and I think that’s fine. They’re not gunning for MIT. [/quote] Go read how difficult it is to get into UVA and VT these days. Kids who like math and are good at it should be allowed to take more advanced classes. It's one way they can stand out in the sea of nova applicants. Other kids can focus on their favorite subjects or priorities.[/quote]
