[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about non magnet? There are so many kids in IM in 6th and all everyone talks about is the magnet kids.[/quote]
They have changed the math so much it is hard to keep track.  IM in 6th means algebra in 7?  This is a pretty standard accelerated tack.  8:  GEO 9: ALg II, 10: pre-calc  11 CAlC AB or BC or AP Stats 12: AP CALC BC, AP STAT or MV,  I think there i also a finance class that counts as math?  Kids that are taking algebra in 6th will have a harder time avoiding MV.[/quote]

Why would kids in 6th grade algebra ever want to avoid math? That seems pretty unlikely.[/quote]

Super Smart kids can get to algebra in 6th but then they start to focus on writing or theatre or the more artsy side,  Algebra is much easier to be good at then Calc.[/quote]

Disagree. Excelling (I.e getting an A) in a full blown honors algebra class as a 6th grader is much more challenging than excelling in AP Calc as a 10th grader or MV as an junior or senior. This assumes the kid actually belongs in algebra at that age and has talent and motivation to be there and isn’t there against their will. If it’s parent pushed, that’s another story and of course they shouldn’t continue if they don’t really like math. [/quote]
