[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being the smartest isn't always all that it is cracked up to be. [b]Our DD excels in all subject area and doesn't enjoy being at the top of her aap class. Tomorrow is the Iowa test, she's dreading it (she thinks it is silly to make students test into Algebra, she suggested making it open enrollment -[/b] no, she would opt not to enroll), but will probably ace it. She has already told us TJ is out of the question and she only wants to write or be an English teacher. We have asked that she reconsider this, as Math is her strong subject, as are puzzles and so too is writing. In the end, aap offers her a more well-rounded education when compared to Gen. ed. Point is let your child do what makes him/her happy, but still offer guidance. Don't live your life over through your children. Best of luck in your decision.[/quote]

Well then by all means let's take this to the school board.  Certainly an 11-year-old knows better than experienced teachers and administrators.

Your daughter might not want to take Algebra in 7th grade, but the amount of parents who would push their unqualified children to do just that minus a test would  be detrimental to math education in the county.   I can only imagine the gripes from parents of kids who can handle Algebra at that age when those who weren't ready started to slow the classes down.[/quote]
