[quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree with this. [b]I went to school in one of the best school systems in another state[/b] and advanced kids also took Algebra 1 in 8th grade. I think this is exactly the reason that they did away with math pathways. Kids were being overaccelerated and weren't really taking the time to learn the material. It seems like they overcorrected for this problem though and need to find a middle ground where advanced kids still have access to challenging material.[/quote] You have a preoccupation with the word "best". This is an endemic disease here. US News and World reports your "best" doesn't outperform average kids in Vietnam. It's all relative...as is acceleration or hyperacceleration. Preoccupation about what grade a child takes Algebra in is also silly as there is sometimes a 2 year spread in age within a single grade. The kids in MCPS grade school are well aware of these differences in age, height, weight, maturity, ability and performance. [/quote]
