[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are absolutely right, but they are doing the right thing now. Most AAP students are ready for Algebra I in 6th, but it is a good option to be able to opt out if there are any concerns.[/quote]

This is insane. The AAP curriculum is 1 year ahead. A student being instructed by FCPS in math in an AAP class who hasn't been taught the whole curriculum by Kumon or Chinese Saturday school is not ready for Algebra 1 in 6th grade. In 6th grade, they learn 7th grade math. Some are then ready for Algebra 1 in 7th, some are not. [/quote]

Agree. The only kids ready for algebra 1 in 6th are those whose parents have been sending them to enrichment after school and on wknds to learn it. The math-inclined kids who are strictly following FCPS curriculum are not ready and absolutely will have learning gaps. [/quote]

So confidently stated and so wrong. There are kids who are ready without enrichment classes. Maybe not the majority but many, including kids I know well.[/quote]
