[quote=Anonymous]As someone who taught 7th grade algebra for years, I have no issue with it being offered. My only request is that if the teacher reaches out in September and says your kid is having a really hard time, drop them to m7h immediately. The only kids who I saw really struggle were those identified early as in over their heads but parents wanted to them to “try harder”. By the time they agreed algebra in 7th was a poor fit, m7h had already gone through all the prealgebra stuff and dropping down didn’t help build the foundations. When they took the class again in 8th grade they had the same struggles with the basics and never got an opportunity to build up to the honors level work again. Otherwise, no issues. The 91% cutoff served me well. Vast majority of those kids were fine. If your kid likes math and meets the cutoff, they should be fine.[/quote]
