[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th grade Algebra hardly qualifies as "radical STEM acceleration."  It's only mildly faster than an already very slow math program, and it should be well within the reach of highly gifted children.  The handful of "radically accelerated" kids taking Algebra in 6th at my AAP center are all 99.9th percentile kids.  None of them are there because they're spending hours on prep classes or have overly pushy parents.

Again, where are any of these alleged schools with large percentages of Asians taking cram school?  I agree that having 10% or so of your student body doing hours of tutoring every night would lead to problematic school culture.  I just don't believe that it's actually happening in any of the DMV public schools.  [/quote]

You are exactly who I’m trying to avoid. [/quote]\

?? Why are you so threatened by a handful of kids who are, as OP says, mildly advanced in math? How does this offend you so much?  [/quote]

I don’t care about pp’s gifted child, but cut the crap about “slow” math, and sixth grade algebra being no big deal. Just shut up already.[/quote]

I still honestly don't get why you even care. Can you explain? [/quote]
