[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh FFS, lots of kids can adjust their trajectory by taking more than one math class at a time. Or a summer course. It's not like you're doomed if you don't take Algebra I in 8th. [/quote]

Yes and you can go private for 1 or all classes if you don't like the public school's insufficient offering. That doesn't make the public school option reasonable. [/quote]

People can take more than one math class at a time in some public schools. And some public schools will allow online classes to be taken independently.

It *is* reasonable to have 8th Grade Math for 8th Graders. FFS. Why do you think it's called 8th Grade Math? Has it ever occurred to you that some people just aren't as good at math, even at well-performing schools and with supportive parents? Those kids need a math class that is right for them, and they'll be perfectly fine taking Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Calc AB. There's nothing wrong with it. They will still go to college. Take a deep breath, remember that the world is a diverse place, and ask yourself why you feel the need to be attacking a perfectly reasonable approach.[/quote]
