[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember a FCPS teacher, who moonlights at one of the enrichment class, said certain advanced math class in middle school actually count as high school classes so the grade is counted as high school GPA.  If a child is not doing well on these advanced math classes, he suggest the child drop the class instead of earning a B that will follow him all the way to college application.

I am not sure if Algebra is one of those classes, you should ask the school about it.  If it is counted as high school class then be careful, but maybe you can have him try and drop it if he's not doing well.

Algebra is a high school course.  Its grade count towards high school GPA no matter when a student takes it.  You are essentially asking a six grader take a high school course.  My suggestion is find out the free withdraw date and make a decision to keep or drop the class before that date based on student performance. [/quote]
