[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...They took A1H in 8th grade, which is still ahead of the curve.

The push for Algebra by 8th grade wasn’t really needed because something like 75% of the kids in the County took Algebra by 8th grade. The kids who were not taking it are kids who struggle with math and need the slower path.

You keep calling A1H in 8th "ahead of the curve,"  but in the very same post admit that 75% take Algebra by 8th and only the kids who struggle with math don't.  Algebra 1 in 8th is not "ahead of the curve," it is on target for an average (not at all advanced) student.  Algebra 1 in 7th is easily doable for by good students, even those not in AAP.  Algebra 1 in 6th should be only for the kids who do well in advanced math and enjoy it, but that is a much larger group of kids than you think it is.  The material is not difficult for smart kids.  It is only the study habits and desire to earn the A that has some of them getting B's or C's.
It seems to me like you are freaking out about it because you want to hold your kid back, and you don't want to feel guilty about so many other kids having a head start on your kid because of your decision.[/quote]
