[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, so that's why everyone is dying to take Algebra in 7th-- so the child can take it again in summer school or 8th? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until the child is ready?[/quote] I don't think this is why everyone wants to take algebra in 7th grade, but there is a good-sized subset of people who have their kids take courses outside the school system and then re-take them in school so they can get an A. It's kind of crazy, because the grades are then not truly representative of the child's ability in the subject. [/quote] This is very true. It actually affects the other students and the teaching of the class. My dc was in an FCPS 7th grade Algebra class where many of the students reported having taken Algebra before (Kumon, CTY, tutors, etc). The teacher really didn't teach because he felt that everyone knew the material anyway, and the few who had not yet taken Algebra were struggling. [/quote]
