[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that kids that take algebra in 7th do better on SOLs for algebra and every subsequent course than those that start the path in 8th and 9th. Seems like we aren’t accelerating enough.[/quote] There's an obvious selection bias that leads to the higher scores. It's not that the acceleration causes the higher scores. It's that most of the kids most likely to get higher scores are placed into the class in 7th.[/quote]
