[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that taking algebra in 7th grade probably does not matter for college but I am hoping it will keep my kid from being bored and unchallenged in math next year (I am the parent with a 5th grader doing Beast Academy). I have two other kids, but this one just catches on to math concepts super quickly and is so bummed out by how slow his school math class is. [/quote]

We [b]parent-placed[/b] our child in pre algebra this year and I'm glad we did.  Math 6 would have been a long, boring slog.  APS offers no other intensified classes at the MS right now, and that won't change until 2023, so this is at least one class that my DC has to do actual work to earn good grades. Learning how to work hard and study is as much part of the process so that the world of high school and AP and intensified classes isn't as much of a shock. [/quote]

So you can parent-place a kid?  Is it a fight to do it, or can you simply enroll?  [/quote]

Not that PP, but in our case they definitely pushed back & did not want to move the kid. [/quote]

To parent place what would you consider the minimum scores (not the APS impossible bar).  [/quote]

It’s not setting every student up for failure. APS cut offs are unrealistically high (& new).

Go with the APS recommendation.  Don't set your student up for failure.[/quote][/quote]
