[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach algebra to 7th graders. It is immediately apparent who was "prepped" to make the cut, and who has the ability to think beyond. The poor prepped kids work their tails off to keep up. Half do, half don't. The ones who do are usually really good memorizers, but not necessarily critical thinkers. [b]I try to push forward at the same pace I would teach a class of all top students (which is what 7th grade algebra should be) but some years I cut out a bunch of extensions because a good portion of the class can't keep up with the basics :([/quote][/b] Sad. But at least the parents get to say their kids are taking honors algebra in 7th grade ... it never ceases to amaze me how many people around here are only concerned about their kids getting ahead from a competitive standpoint, as opposed to actually proceeding at a pace where they might learn something.
