[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure RR offers Algebra 2.  Carson MS has 2 classes of students.  There were @10 advanced kids who took Algebra in 6th grade who took Geometry in 7th and were slated for Algebra 2 in 8th grade.  But then over the summer about 40 kids spent there summer taking Geometry (yes they are all trying to get into TJ so their parents put them into this over the summer) so now there are 2 full classes at Carson.  Rocky Run also sends a ton of kids to TJ so I'm sure they have Algebra 2.[/quote]

DD is in 8th grade at RRMS. She says that the kids who are taking Algebra 2 spend their math time in the media center supposedly doing their math homework. They still have to take the course on-line at home after school. I think it is a terrible shame that these kids are learning two core math courses (Geometry on line over the summer and Algebra II now) on line rather than face to face with a teacher. [b]I really wonder how these kids will do when they get to the higher level HS math courses such as BC Calculus.

Unless these kids are part of the 1-2% of truly gifted math kids in the county, what are they gaining by hyper accelerating in math?[/quote]
