[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None, they are covering 7th grade math in LIV/Advanced Math in 6th. The big difference is that they are moving into a HS paced course and the Teachers will expect them to keep up with that pace. I have a friend with an 8th grader taking Algebra. She said her child complains about the 7th graders all the time because they are not organized, don’t have the right materials, and it slows down the stat of class. The kids are able to do the material but they are less together. My friends advice to me was to work on that with my child if they end up in Algebra as a 7th grader. [/quote]

My 7th grader and her friends complain about 8th graders who are slow to grasp concepts and ask obvious questions slowing down the class [/quote]

The friend’s kid said the 7th graders can do the work, they just need more support because they have not had the experience in 7th grade that requires less support. The issue for [b]most of the 7th graders[/b] taking HS classes in 7th grade is that they are used to more support and are not as well organized. I have heard this from the language [b]Teacher, my kid is in language immersion,[/b] the 7th graders struggle with the pace and organizational demands of the class not the material per se.

And this is how you lose all credibility. [/quote]

Really? I know a bunch of kids in my kids LI class who scored in the 99th percentile on the IAAT and will most likely be taking Algebra 1 as 7th graders. As I understand it, about 1/3 of the kids in the LI program at our school will end up in Algebra 1 in 7th grade and they tend to do well. The number of non-LI kids in Advanced Math is far smaller and very few of them move into Algebra 1 in 7th grade. Maybe other LI programs are different then ours but there is a good amount of math advancement that happens. We even place kids at TJ out of the LI program. [/quote]
