[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t accelerate. My son was recommended for Algebra 1 in 6th. In 9th he barely made it through 1 month of Hon Precalculus, stepped down to regular Precalculus made a C. Took Calculus with Apps in 10th made a B and now is failing AP Calculus Ab in 11th. Better slow than fast. I regret pushing him too fast. You daughter may end up being the opposite of my son and become a math wizard in high school. [/quote] Wrong thread. No one here is talking about Algebra in 6th [/quote] +1 OP is talking about whether it's ok to take Algebra along the "normal path" in 9th. Which of course it's fine. The kid wouldn't be allowed to apply to the Blair STEM magnet (if it still exists by that time), because you need to have Algebra by 8th to be eliglble to apply under current criteria, but sounds like her kid is more interested in the humanities and IB programs, which I don't think have that Algebra by 8th requirement.[/quote]
