[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't push. Kids often get into trouble with this program because the ability to do Algebra 1 well in 7th grade has very little correlation with the ability/aptitude/desire to do post-calculus math in 11th grade.[/quote] I agree there is no need to push but there is in fact a great deal of correlation between interest and aptitude in math for those who do well in algebra in 7th. [/quote] I think the PP is saying that it takes more than an interest in and aptitude for math to want to do post-calculus math in 11th grade. At most high schools, including JR, it will require that you take post-calculus math either online or at a local community college, taking you away from friends and activities just when friendships seem all-important and activities must be maximized for the sake of college applications. That’s the part that doesn’t necessarily correlate with doing well in 7th grade algebra 1. [/quote]
