[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if a kid has like an 80 in math 7? Will they be told to take algebra next year?[/quote]

As a family, you have a right to have your child take take Algebra 1 upon successful completion of Math 7 (not failing), regardless of what the school says. Your child’s school only makes recommendations. You are the ultimate decision maker. [/quote]

There are some families that don’t want Algebra in 8th. Why is this being pushed??[/quote]

Then don’t have your child take it in 8th grade then. You have a choice in all of this. Nobody forces you to do so.

Some schools are no longer offering math 7/math 8 (prealgebra) except to special education students or unique cases. It’s wild. Central office (jk it’s Reid, only Reid) are pushing principals hard to have everyone in algebra in 8th. If your middle schools are still offering prealgebra to all, thank your principal for standing up to it.[/quote]

This. Carson is no longer offering math 8 for next year. This is horribly unfair to kids currently in math 7 who will be unprepared for Algebra. [/quote]
