[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the desire to equip kids with strong math skills -- it would be great to set them up for going to college for engineering. But is it really necessary to take Algebra and Geometry in middle school? I also wonder if four weeks of nonstop math is the best thing for a 12 year old. [/quote] In my experience, no. I have a 10th grader taking Calc BC (and doing very well). But truly there is no reason to go as far as he is going to have to go in math while still in HS. We did not encourage our younger kids to accelerate more than one year.[/quote]
