[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my kid and a ton of his friends are really struggling this year in Algebra 1 Honors. As far as I know, tons of Cs and below and a lot of retakes on the Unit 1 test, which had lower scores than the original.

[b]We have heard things around the Curriculum in Math 7 Honors not being as robust as in the past and therefore the kids not being as ready as possible for Algebra 1 Honors. [/b]

Hang in there. We're in a bad spot, too. Tough to see your kid struggling, but I agree with the PPs to start with the teacher and the counselor to determine their POV. [/quote]

DP. Math 7H was very easy for my DS (probably easier than 6th grade AAP math) and then Algebra 1H was much harder. [/quote]

Math 7H is literally a repeat of 6th grade AAP math so that’s why it seemed easy. I would go by how your child did in 6th AAP math. My child needed a lot of support in 6th AAP math - I had to do a lot to reteaching. I knew from that that they probably should do regular Algebra 1.[/quote]If 7H is a repeat of 6 AAP, did your kid "repeat" 6th by moving to 7H? How did that prepare him for 8th grade algebra 1 Honors?[/quote]
