[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] NP but I completely agree. My DH grew up in Germany. Their education system there is wonderful *for some students.* Somewhere around 4th grade you get tracked to either go on to gymnasium and complete a rigorous educational path, or tracked to go to either vocational school or work in a factory. It's very hard to move from one track to another and the wealthier families with college educated parents tend to be the ones whose kids are on the advanced track. They may take Algebra earlier but it is far from the vast majority of students. [/quote]
