[quote=Anonymous]You are focused on the wrong thing. My kid is a junior and many kids who were pushed into early Algebra just weren't ready and the algebra was a bit watered down which was ok. But the students got to high school and the just weren't prepared because the high school teachers assumed a level of mastery that wasn't there and they had to remediate. This was true even in the intensified level classes. Forcing math early is probably the biggest mistake some parents make. Instead I would argue that parents need to push middle schools to teach something far more basic which is reading and writing including grammar, vocabulary, and how to write basic paragraphs and essays.
