[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is utterly exhausting.

So, the expectation now is I need to privately enroll my child in a class BEFORE they take the class to be successful in the class?

I was pretty against Alg. 1 in 7th grade with my 6th grader, but this whole approach is so frustrating. It all mimics my kid's experience in AAP -- the teachers expect these kids to have learned whatever concepts that were being taught for the first time "before" so class is actually just a quick review and assessment. and if they haven't, it's up to the student (i.e. their parents) to fill in the gaps.[/quote]

Alg in 7th is no joke - and I told my kid that.  He is mathy - and was up for the extra work, and I felt he was up to that challenge so I allowed him to do it but that class was definitely the most work him in 7th and 8th grades.  He is taking Alg II in 9th grade now, and I have another 6th grader in AAP now.  I already know my two younger ones likely shouldn't do Alg 1 in 7th - even if they qualify.

That is exactly the case - they should not take Alg in 7th if they did not understand what they were taught the first time.  That is exactly who should take Honors Math 7 in 7th instead of Alg 1.  [/quote]
