[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your son doesn't make it into compacted math, all it means is he will take algebra in 8th grade instead of 7th grade. No doom, no gloom.[/quote] My child took it in 6th. What happened. Why are they pushing Algebra back so far? [/quote] Many teachers/parents complained kids lacked basic foundation knowledge when they got to higher level math. If you read some of the older posts on here, pre 2.0, you'll see some parents complaining about it. I also read an old article about this. If a kid is that much of a genius in math, they will allow the kid to go ahead. Our HGC /compacted math teacher told us of a kid who was allowed to take HS math. But most kids don't need to be pushed that far that quickly, even if they show they *can* do Algebra in 6th, doesn't mean they should. It could be just rote memorization. That's how a lot of people got through math. Doesn't really do them much good later on.[/quote]
