[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if my 6th grade DD qualifies for algebra 1 next year (not a sure thing by any stretch), are you really telling me that some of her peers will do geometry in the summer to get to algebra 2 in 8th grade? Coz that's just nuts. Can't believe the schools allow it. She has some classmates that are doing algebra 1 in 6th grade but those kids are in a special category, math-wise. The rest of the kids in her class aren't really significantly different than her and I cannot see any good reason to allow her to do online summer geometry. Wtf?[/quote] My daughter *chose* to take geometry over the summer. I strongly advised her against it. But, she wanted to. About 30% of the kids in summer geometry ended up dropping out. The problem was the speed of the class: there was no time for the concepts to sink in. DD did ok (B+), and is taking Alg II honors...oh, she tool algebra in the 8th grade.[/quote]
