[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Algebra I in 7th grade is a terrible idea for most kids. Even the smart ones.[/quote] More anecdata. My older kid who is bright at math but not at all a math genius took 7th grade algebra. Kid is now in 11th grade BC calc, has had straight As, and will almost certainly get a 5 on the AP exam. This kid did take 2 years of in person AoPS classes (BA 5 and pre-algebra), but did not spend significant time on the material. She felt that she learned more in one 2 hour enrichment class than she learned in an entire month of regular school. Bright kids who are well prepared are perfectly capable of Algebra in 7th. If a school system is finding that a significant number aren't ready, then the problem is that their curriculum is too weak and too rigid. [/quote]
