[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not necessary. We are concerned about the quartile because the class is starting in about one week and no one heard anything yet. [b]I don’t really worry about the teacher cause I can teach my son by myself.[/b] P.S. I took the Praxis Algebra test before and found it really easy with almost perfect score. [/quote]

EXACTLY THIS. An incoming 6th grader who can qualify to take algebra probably comes from a better home environment with smarter parents. The teacher could be fresh out of college and most of these kids will still be fine because the bulk of their math learning is happening in the home where their parents accelerate them, do Beast Academy workbooks with them over the summer, send them to RSM/AOPS, etc. [/quote]

Why not just homeschool?[/quote]
DP here.

Socialization is important.  So are sports. And most parents know that they can’t teach everything - so sending your kid to school and supplementing at home is more effective in the long run.

But in general- most of these parents know how competitive high school is now. And as the grade they get here is put on their high school record: they want to make sure their kid does well.

And not to knock homeschooling- but seriously?  We are talking FCPS. Not Louisiana.
