[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I have a 7th grader taking Algebra and I was already worried about high school math options. Even crazier for 6th grade start. Can someone lay out the math class options through high school?

Can do AP AB Calculus, AP BC Calculus and AP Stats.[/quote]

That is one possibility but I doubt most kids taking A1H in 6th grade are going to go that route. Most of these kids are going to take AP Calc BC, without taking AB. They might take AP Stats but it will be an elective. [b]The parents pushing for their kids to be in this class are pushing for their kids to take the most rigorous class with an eye towards a top 10 school.[/b] There could be kids who were strong at math and end up in A1H at 6th grade and decide it is not their thing and step off the accelerated path.

There are kids ready for this path, more than 30 that were allowed it but the 500-700 that I am reading about in the pilot seems to be far too many. [/quote]

No one is pushing. Our kids were automatically placed in the class. The only pushing is pushing to get them out.[/quote]

Except that there is at least one school where kids are being principal placed, which means someone is asking to place kids in the class. And the one that everyone knows about is Navy, the parents were actively complaining that the "good math teacher" was assigned Algebra and the bad math teacher was assigned 6th grade AAP. So yes, there are schools where kids are being placed who were not identified by the County. [/quote]
