[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not. Exactly what percentage of Russians and South Koreans and Poles and Chinese are taking Algebra in 6th and 7th grade? I doubt that the number is as high as you all think. The elite and people who can afford the tutoring and prep are pushing STEM in many countries. This is not a wide spread thing and if you think that it is, I have a bridge to sell you for a low, low price.[/quote]

That PP said that in these countries everyone takes algebra in 7th, which is flatly not true.[/quote]
Every single kid in Russia starts taking  both algebra and geometry in 7th grade  But those are not one ow two year courses, basically they are taught until the end of high school. I believe but not 100% sure that the students are also taught pre-calc and maybe even calc in two final grades (10th and 11th). 
This is the basic curriculum for all non STEM students. STEM students usually study the same things but in much more depth and usually go beyond Calculus BC.
For that matter biology starts in 6th grade, physics in 7th and chemistry in 8th and al those subjects are taught until the end of high school too, again this is the pathway for every single student[/quote]
