It’s not acceleration. They are normal math tracks for public.  Algebra can start in 6-7-8.  [/quote]

That is acceleration. It is not normal to start algebra in 6 or 7 grade in public. Kids have to be placed there. It’s not something just any student has access to because they want to they have to be on an accelerated track from 3/4 grade to make it possible. The issue is once kids are on this track they will stay on it regardless of if they show mastery of the material or not. It’s why these students think they will walk into Alg 2 at an area private and get shocked when they bomb the placement and have to retake Alg 1. Public schools don’t have superior math teachers. They have messed up policies that forces kids forward without knowing or caring if they are ready for it. The only students I know at public schools who show mastery in math are the magnet students who are all supplemented with outside resources just  like you all complain private school students are.
