mrs weasley.aacps.com regulation #608 is where i got the information.he goes to a charter school where they run through geometry and alg II in one year. in many years that happens in 7th grade but my son’s year did not test as strongly so they are doing this in 8th grade. it seems a bit rushed to me… why push so hard so early…but like i said he loves math and his teacher and friends and decided to continue on the accelerated path rather than drop down a class and re-do geometry (which he had already finished with an a)… if this hurts him in 4 years and he is on one of the depressing ‘rejected’ threads there are on cc, (all those mentions of trying harder earlier!!)that’s the way it goes…like posters all over cc have said, you can’t protect your child from everything…
