[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of 9th and 6th graders in LCPS, both bright honors students, there has been no discouragement of taking Algebra in 8th or even in 7th. My 9th grader took it in 7th and did great and is currently in A2T. My current 6th grader is in Foundations and has already been told that she may take Algebra or Pre Algebra next year - her choice. She has had a high A average all year in Foundations. No one has discouraged anything. [/quote] County staff sent an e-mail saying that her goal was to eliminate 6th grade prealgebra, and for equity purposes she supported elimination of tracking. With elimination of VMPI, schools have been given more leeway to return to the previous practice. I don't know the numbers now, but before at several schools half the kids were taking algebra by 7th grade.[/quote]
