[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These sixth graders are taking Algebra I online, all in the computer lab with a proctor. Unless the school has a staff member certified in secondary math, no teacher can actually teach the course, with discussion and activities that a regular Algebra I teacher would have. So it’s a crappy way to deliver instruction and a poor educational choice. Unless your kid is a true math genius, don’t do it.[/quote]

Every elementary school was required to get at least one staff member certified to teach algebra (passing the praxis) for next year. Not secondary math, but the praxis does cover pretty solid algebra 2 skills, so it’s not nothing. Even schools expecting to be online have to have a certified teacher in person.[/quote]

6th Grade AAP teacher here. I am certified but if only 2-3 kids sign up, they can’t have me teach them cause I would need to teach 7th grade math. They said unless 15 kids or more signed up or they got another teacher, they wouldn’t have the staffing. [/quote]

My school has the math resource teacher getting the certification which makes the scheduling easier. She can support the algebra kids even if it’s only 5.[/quote]
