[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some very smart kids who are literally failing Algebra this year in 7th. It's a hard, high school course and they expect you to move fast and be extremely organized. I truly don't see the point.  Many of them wish they had chosen Math 7 honors this year. [/quote]

My 6th grader is smart, not supers art and doing great with algebra. [/quote]

I’m sure that’s true. It’s not about the math content/smartness. It’s the self motivated, self organization skills for a 12 year old. My oldest was great at Algebra in 7th. Straight As without a word from me. But....there are other kids with other, very negative experiences. [/quote]

No, not really. I am surprised at all these kids in APP given the posts. [/quote]

Not all AAP kids are math geniuses.  My daughter's friend group is heavy on kids very advanced in language arts and writing who are fine doing in the standard AAP year-ahead math but are not planning to do Algebra in 7th.  Or mine, who has the math aptitude but not interest enough to take a high school class the first year of middle school.  She can take algebra and the first year of a language in 8th and still come out fine for HS.[/quote]
