[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, this explains why Latin is offering math up to two years ahead of grade level to their top middle school math students, and [b]why BASIS, which has offered 6th grade algebra all along[/b], has a waiting list of more than 200 names. What happening in cities around the country is that more kids are being "super accelerated" as time they goes. I see this at our DCPS elementary school - children of NASA scientists ready for 5th grade math in 3rd grade because they've been working ahead on Khan Academy, Saxon Learning IXL or whatever programs. Schools, both public and private, struggle to deal with bored kids who aren't remotely challenged, leading to more flexibility in learning, particularly for math. [/quote] BASIS teaches algebra in 7th grade, though this year there are a total of four 6th graders who were allowed to place into algebra (i.e., such acceleration is pretty rare).[/quote]
