[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We took Algebra 1 Honors in 6th grade because the teacher is by far the best teacher we encountered in FCPS. We also have a child who graduated HS from FCPS.

There were no bonus points, not one and grading was pretty strict. Too strict I thought.

The teacher told us that she got the course materials from another MS teacher who taught the Algebra 1 honors class for several years. That seems to be the norm.

And we had fantastic experience with Algebra 1 in 6th grade.[/quote]

Agreed. I taught A1H in the middle school for years before moving up to high school (and now teach A2-Calc). What my 6th grade algebra child did this year was above and beyond anything I ever pushed to my middle school honors students--much of it was the kind of extensions my A2H kids see.  I don't see how you can make any general statements when every teacher is making up their own materials or sourcing them independently. FCPS does not provide anything to the teachers, so every school is going to look different.[/quote]
