[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stuck in Algebra 1 in 9th grade? Oh please. This used to be the norm and still is in many private schools.[/quote] there are a lot of "used tos": 1. kids used to learn math by rote only, never really gaining any number fluancy unless you were a very math-y person 2. we used to have a lot more jobs that did not require critical thinking and analytical skills, like paper pushers, and taking a widget from A bin to B bin. Those jobs are few and far between On track Alg. in 9th grade is ok for many, but the issue is that there are a lot of kids around here who are pretty advanced in math, and they should not be held back. This track would not allow students to take calculus in HS. [/quote]
