[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "standard" gen-ed track is basically remedial classes. No one with plans to go to college should be on the standard track. Honors classes at a minimum and at least Algebra by 8th grade.[/quote] OP here, this is ridiculous! My daughter and a lot of her friends are in regular (not honors) classes and they are all smart kids who plan to go to college. Will they end up at Harvard or Yale or even UVA? Probably not, but they'll still end up in good schools and with good careers. DCUM is the only place I've heard "regular classes are remedial" and that's not real life.[/quote] I have a junior in high school and also a freshman. Algebra in 9th you are lowest in rigor. I learned this when my kids entered high school. Depends on what you consider good colleges. You will have zero shot at any school in the top 50 or any decent STEM school. Don’t shoot the messenger.[/quote]
