[quote=Anonymous]People are way over thinking and fretting about this. I've had 3 kids (both in magnets and not) go through almost all the flavors of ES and MS offerings for math recently. They have all been terribly bored in math at some point. I attempted to resolve issues along the way - sometimes successfully and sometimes not. It's fine. They can spend their brainpower on other things. In the long run, lack of challenge and slow pace in ES and MS hasn't held back any of my kids from taking the most advanced math possible in HS. The key to remember is that Algebra in 8th grade leads to 9th-Geometry, 10th-Algebra 2, 11th-Precalculus, 12th Calculus. Don't like that pathway? Double up with Geometry and Algebra 2 in 9th. Take AP Stat in 11th. Be proactive in high school to ensure your child is on the most appropriate pathway for them, and speed up or slow down then as needed.[/quote]
