[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not true. I have an 8th grader and an 11th grader in FCPS, and I would say it’s a small minority who take Algebra 1 in 9th. Most take it in 8th, and some take it in 7th. Clearly, my kids don’t know everyone, but my 8th grader doesn’t know anyone who is taking 8th grade math and my 11th grader doesn’t know anyone who isn’t in at least pre Calc.

8th grade math is presented to both parents and students as “for those who need a slower pace or struggle with math.” 
So while it’s perfectly fine, [b]it’s definitely not the majority[/b]. [/quote]

And how do you know this?  Did you survey ALL HS in FCPS? Even if you work for FCPS, how did you come up with that conclusion?

It might be true if your kids attend TJ, Mclean, Langley, Oakton, Marshall, James Madison; however, it is a completely different story at other HS in FCPS where the vast majority of kids take Algebra I in 9th grade.

It is like living in Mclean, Langley or Great Falls and pretend to understand what poor people are going through.  Give me a break.[/quote]
DP.. then how do *you* know that the vast majority in FCPS take Algebra in 9th?  Is there some stats somewhere that shows this?[/quote]
