[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why someone parents are so hung up on whether to take Algebra I in 7th. It’s not that difficult and if your kid qualifies, should just take it. I actually support opening up Algebra for anyone who wants to take it, several (Asian) countries start learning proper algebra and geometry from 5th/6th grade it self. My older kid said algebra was really easy, but geometry can be a little tricky and needed practice around proofs and logic/reasoning sections (got high As and 580+ in both sol). My 4th grader is already doing linear equations at kumon and once the kids understand (well, I had to help/explain whenever new topics come) the concepts, it’s not that difficult to pick up. So a 7th grader already in advanced math track, should not find it difficult. Go for it! [/quote]

Dang that explains it asian countries accelerate math and have high stakes testing for ha college and employment

None of that is true or matters in the USA. The sooner first generation Asians learn the actual culture the better off for everyone.  All this acceleration prepping and tj insanity can finally stop [/quote]

Look around and you will see that first gen americans and immigrants pretty dominate the higher education and stem related jobs in us. You want to increase this device further instead of trying to narrow the gap? I hope American more parents encourage their kids to pursue stem education and provide the support they need. [/quote]
