[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th Grade AAP teacher here. I have students come back and state Math 7 Honors is too easy. I personally feel there should be four options.

Algebra 1
7Honors for kids who got 7th grade math in 6th so more extensions are possible.

7Honors for kids skipping 7th grade math

7Regular

There is a real push from the county to have more kids in at least one honors class and for all kids to take Algebra 1 in 8th.

Interesting considering majority of kids aren’t testing as proficient in grade level math as it is- only 26% of 8th graders tested proficient nationally last yr [/quote]

Yes, I don’t see how they can expect all 8th graders to take Algebra 1. I know I’m old, but when I was in 8th grade Algebra 1 was the most advanced class available, and in my high school there were still juniors and seniors taking Algebra 1. [/quote]

There will still be kids in 9th and 10th grade taking Algebra 1. The effort is more directed at getting more URM into Algebra 1 in 8th grade. If you take a look at the Algebra 1 SOLs you will see that the majority of kids will have taken Algebra 1 by the end of 8th grade. The schools that have fewer kids in Algebra 1 by 8th grade are the schools that feed in from Title 1 schools. [/quote]
