[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS middle school has a third of the class taking Algebra in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th. But yeah, keep telling yourself that you're paying $30,000 a year for "depth."[/quote] Unfortunately, many of those kids then start private high school and don't do nearly as well in math as you would think. Algebra can be developmental and pushing it earlier and earlier doesn't mean a program has 'depth,' or that many of the kids who take it will do well later in higher level classes. What's the big rush? Just to say that your kid is taking algebra as a 7th grader? I don't get it. [/quote]
