I think I like the slow down in math, though.  DC is in 7th and taking Algebra though DC is not really that strong in math.  DC did fine (As on the report card), but I'm seriously concerned that DC is missing concepts and also that, not being a mathy kid, DC would be taking Calc in 11th.  I was thinking of pulling DC back a bit, but this plan takes the decision out of my hands.

But, I'm confused as to what the recommended path is for a current 7th grader taking algebra..?[/quote]

I also have a 7th grader in algebra and was trying to figure this out.  It looks like the plan is to move on to geometry next year, and the curriculum might be adjusted (at the MCPS level) to include some of the missed algebraic concepts in geometry (possibly by continuing to reduce/eliminate the geometry concepts that were cut this year due to lack of time).  After geometry, it looks like it might be possible to slow down by spreading Algebra 2 over two years (9th and 10th grade).  I figure we can think about that after we see how next year goes and what the schools are offering/recommending.[/quote]
