[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Algebra is so important that it should not be rushed. On the other hand, if the kid is ready, then there is no reason to delay. Parents neeed to think objectively to make the right decision.  What is the goal? To get into Algebra or to learn well in Algebra?

The plan is probably to do Algebra 1 in 7th grade so the kid can go to TJ.  There is no reason to rush kids into it, so I don't understand this mentality at all.[/quote]

Yeah, I figure that is the case. But if the kid is struggling with Algebra in 7th maybe it is time for parents to back off that plan. Or if kids don't hit the IAAT score and are not going to be in Algebra take that as the sign that you really need to think if Algebra in 7th is a great idea.

I just don't get the need to be at the elite high school or college. Can those networks help later in life? Sure, if you use them. I know people who went to those schools and they never use the network. In the end, most people are successful without attending any of those elite schools. The pressure to attend and graduate from those schools simply because of the prestige is crazy. I don't get it.

The most successful people I know all went to elite schools. I didn’t. I’m doing fine, but we aren’t the ones in the big house with the nice cars. [/quote]
