[quote=Anonymous]You're painting with too broad a brush, PP above. We switched from BASIS to Arlington school for 8th grade. In APS, half as many kids are permitted to take 6th or 7th grade algebra as just five years ago, and not for lack of good prep. What the burbs have been finding is that even kids with strong math preparation and chops often aren't truly ready for 7th grade algebra. It's a developmental issue. What they've done is adapted by cutting back on 7th grade algebra. Same story in Fairfax and Loudoun. BASIS hasn't adapted. The franchise is too top down to bother.[/quote]
