[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. It is ridiculous. Most of the kids have a weak understanding of Algebra as a result. It's rushed, almost always badly done, and largely has to do with parental bragging.[/quote] Welcome to 'Murican public school education. [/quote] +1. Colleague went to another state. His son took algebra placement test as a sophomore (having done Algebra in 7th grade in the great MCPS). Guess what? Very bright kid - parents were Ivy and SLAC - had to take Algebra all over again. There is a great argument that most kid brains are not developed enough for the abstract thinking needed to succeed. I know Lake Wobegon effect around here...because just ‘cause you are in Potomac doesn’t mean your brain is any different...[/quote] this is the kind of crackpot science that led to the disastrous curricula we now grapple with. most kids can handle and would enjoy much more rigorous curricula than what they are taught now.
