[quote=Anonymous]I think you are in a tough situation. If you kid is ready and interested in taking algebra, I would sign him up because nothing crushes a kid's math interest faster than having to repeat the same problems over several years. But you should be aware that you are working outside of the normal Arlington track, and it may cause work for your. I had to fight to have my kid work independently with teacher in 8th grade to learn Algebra 2. The teacher would assign work and grade tests, but my kid just sat in the back of another class. The middle school would not allow my kid not to take a math class in eighth grade and they balked at my original plan to have my kid take algebra 2 through the Johns Hopkins CTY program. Also, there are very limited electives available to eighth graders. Also, as previously mentioned, my kid will run out of math classes to take in high school, but we are looking into evening classes at George Mason. [/quote]
