[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would have to take AIM in 5th, which would need to be offered virtually or by busing to the middle school. Then you’d have the same issue in 8th with Algebra 2.[/quote]

Not true, my non-W kid did compacted math to Algebra in 6th.  Skipped AIM.[/quote]

Well, that is the policy at our school. [/quote]

It would be helpful if people named what schools they have experience with as this "policy" clearly varies from school to school. Being vague just invites more misinformation that this only happens at "wealthy" potomac schools.

Another thread specifically mentioned Frost as having a path for going from compact 5/6 straight to Algebra skipping AIM.
In this thread a poster mentioned Tilden as specifically not allowing 6th graders to take algebra.[/quote]

We have named them over and over again and no one wants to listen.  AND, it doesn't matter as you wouldn't send your kids to school there.  Pay attention in threads.  We don't need to keep rehashing the same thing.  Taking Algebra in 6th or 7th really is not a big deal.[/quote]
