[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what is the true advantage if the kids are going to the same colleges? The ones on the slower math track are able to catch up with functions but kids who start algebra in 6th are already on that track so how does functions make sense for them for help? [/quote] By ensuring they get advanced a year at one of the wealthy schools that allow it, they are exposed to more math which results in higher MAP scores. This in turn increases their chances of selection for the HS magnet. It's just one of the many ways the more affluent schools confer advantages on the more affluent residents and help rig admissions in their favor.[/quote] Poor thing. Living life with that attitude.
