[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this necessary? I have a phD in mechanical engineering - I did not take Algebra until 8th grade. I turned out just fine![/quote] Necessary? No. Nice to have available for the kids who can handle it? Yes. Rolling out in a clear fashion that is going to help kids? Nope Selecting kids who are really ready for it? Probably not. Some are ready, some will do fine but really didn't need it, some are going to struggle and will end up returning to AAP math or expunging the grade and retaking the class. I would guess that there are probably around 200 kids who are ready for Algebra 1H in 6th grade who would benefit from the class as an option, not 500 kids at 20 ES. [/quote]
