[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to be all classes were higher at HGC, now it's Humanities. But if in compacted math with a great teacher, your kid is still ahead of most coming out. [b]No more Alg in 6th grade, which is what my older kids got.[/b][/quote] I think it's a good thing that 99% of 6th graders don't take Algebra in MS. There are studies that find that Algebra (as it used to be) is not appropriate for young teens/tweens, and if these younger kids are taking Algebra, then it's usually watered down, and that could be why they have a much harder time when they hit HS math.[/quote] The ship has sailed on that one, what's called Algebra today is not the same course as what was taught before graphing calculators and this is why it is now taught to younger kids. Making kids wait to make it will not bring that rigor back.[/quote]
