[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you jumping all over the OP -- do you have kids this age yet? I do, and can tell you that in some schools in MoCo (the better ones) it is quite commonplace for advanced 8th graders to take high school level math and foreign language classes. I'm not saying you cannot opt out, but it's not just the pushy parents whose children are recommended for and take the high school classes. In fact, the school guidance counselors sort of encourage it.[/quote]
Yep, and we're just telling you that you could be pushing your kid to no good end.  [/quote]

I think it's like nuclear disarmament: No country will drop their weapons until the other side does. The Race to Nowhere won't end until parents and schools collectively agree to change the system.[/quote]
I hear what you're saying but parents never stop being parents so they should, (sorry) but parent!  Look at the course book in middle school, high school, even college, ask questions about the course path (so, if my 6th grader takes Algebra . . . . etc.)  Be responsible for your decisions.  But please, at least notice the idiocy of putting the 7th grader in Algebra 1 and then complaining about the high school stress level.  [/quote]
