[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a bad, bad idea. This is a high school course and developmentally set to someone who is 13-14. My kid is 11. Yes, they could understand the concepts, but the organizational side of all of this would be a mess. We are sticking with Math 7. He can look into Alg. next year. I would personally prefer 8th grade fwiw. We are in an IB school and this maps the program anyway.[/quote] The good news is that you have a choice. You can place your child where you think they belong. There are kids who can handle the material and the organizational side of things. This option needs to exist for them. FCPS needed to find a way to standardize Algebra in 6th grade. I think they are doing it in a haphazard manner that is rushed, and that is problematic, but I support the pilot because it is bringing long needed standardization for a class that was only available for a select few whose Principals were willing to make it work.
