I have two kids that took Algebra 1 in 6th, Geometry in 7th, Algebra 2 in 8th. Kids are unable to do that now. It totally sucks. [/quote]

Yes, cruel dumbing-down MCPS now forces children to delay -- DELAY, I TELL YOU! -- to Algebra I in 7th, Geometry in 8th, Algebra II in 9th, and Calculus A/B in 11th. Which is still a full year ahead of the advanced track when I was in high school.

There surely are some kids who are ready for multivariable calculus in 12th grade. But I don't think that there are very many. [/quote]
+1   And if you talk to upper grade math teachers, they will tell you that too many kids were skipped too quickly pre 2.0.  There are some older threads on here where parents were complaining about the same thing.  What a parent thinks about their kids' math ability is not always the same as what a teacher thinks about it.[/quote]

Then the teacher fails them and they repeat instead of move on. Simple [/quote]
