[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a kid take Algebra 1 in 6th grade? My DD is in 5th grade AAP and in advance math group. [/quote]

In our ES, a combo of 1-2 pushy parents a year and an administration that does not stand up to them.  The parents prep the kids to death and insist that the administration to let them do the Iowa and 7th grade SOL in 5th, which the school will not administer normally. It does not appear to have anything to do with exceptional talent in math.  In both of my kids' classes, the couple of kids who did this had really overbearing hyper intense parents who drove them to the MS for first period,waited, and then drove them to the ES.  I know the school's policy was to actively discourage this.   FWIW, these were often not the strongest math kids in the class.  In DS's case, neither of the kids I know who did this were accepted to TJ, although they were both finalists (and his ES sent at least a handful of kids to TJ). We'll see what happens w/ DD's class this year. [/quote]
