[quote=Anonymous]My DC had high 90's on the Iowa & perfect score on the SOL and was very challenged by Algebra honors in 7th. Had always been strong math student. Granted, this was at Longfellow, where I believe it's especially challenging. Plenty of kids got As, but there were also plenty who dropped out or repeated algebra. From what I could tell the biggest factor in success was not just aptitude, but application -- hard working kids who are very diligent with homework and don't like getting less than near perfect scores did great. Some kids aren't ready for that developmentally, even if they are extremely bright. Also, at least at LMS, there were a lot of kids who took summer algebra courses before 7th grade so they were essentially seeing the material a second time, if not already being tutored as well.[/quote]
