[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school is piloting it.  It looks like maybe up to half our AAP students are eligible?  My kid is not eligible and I'm glad.  There is no way I would let my sixth grader take a high school level class.  What is the rush?  My older kid's middle school math teacher noted that your brain has to be more fully developed for understand the abstract concepts in alg2.  There is no way that half of sixth grade AAP is ready for alg 2 in eighth grade.  This is going to be a s***show.[/quote]

Holy cow, half? That’s wild. Our center isn’t doing an info session until next week but half would be almost 50 kids. That’s multiple course sections. In my mind it was going to be a group of 10 kids around a table with algebra tiles :D[/quote]

We have a lot of kumon, Russian school of math, etc. kids at our school.  Maybe it's not a full half, but it's a lot. I'm not sure how many will ultimately do it.  I'm unhappy that these kids will then be tracked together for other parts of the day.  [/quote]
