[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former math teacher here. Anyone who tells you that 100% in Math in 7th grade is easy don't listen to them. Its an impressive performance. I taught 7th grade at both top and public middle school before switching career to be an actuary. 100% as a final grade is not common.

Congrats to your daughter. [/quote]

Disagree. [b] It’s easy and schools often offer kids opportunities to do corrections. [/b] Any kid with math aptitude isn’t going to be in 7th grade math in 7th grade [/quote]
High school is no different.[/quote]

Depends.  It seem middle schools across the board (public) offer [b]many opportunities to correct or get extra credit.[/b]  In high school, this becomes much more school dependent. My teen has gone to two public high schools- one large and mediocre, one smaller competitive magnet.  The large mediocre one was pretty easy to get As.  The magnet one is very hard to get A.  Even with admission criteria (all the kids are smart), only about 10% get all As at the end of 4 yrs. They print their names in the final newsletter of the year. [/quote]

What percentage of the kids do you think take advantage of this? I'll be shocked if it's higher than 50%. So those kids who do are showing early signs of future success [/quote]
