[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In FCPS, around 10% take Algebra 1 in 7th, around 40 kids take it in 6th, and around 1-3 kids take it before 6th.  Those numbers seem appropriate.  FCPS already strongly gatekeeps the paths leading to Algebra before 7th.  There isn’t a problem with math acceleration in FCPS.  They’re pretty spot on. [/quote]

That sounds fine to me. Kids who don't accelerate, the majority, take Calculus senior year. Perfectly appropriate.[/quote]

Taking calculus senior year is accelerating one year.

That's your opinion. Expectation for most college bound students is calculus by senior year.  STEM interested kids should go further.  Kids with no interest in college don't need it.  There is no one track for everyone where you can deem what is accelerated and by how much.  Your opinion doesn't matter.[/quote]

LOL. It’s not an “opinion”. That’s just how the math pathways work. Calculus is a college-level subject.

The expectation for college-bound kids is to accelerate by at least one year.
