Read this through-My D took Algebra 1 in 7th grade. She was ready for it. In fact in her program almost all the kids took it in 7th grade and a few in 6th grade. The only caveats…she had to do some prep for PSAT and SAT in math because she was rusty on concepts even though she is an excellent math student. Because she had knocked so many HS classes out in middle school by the time she was a senior (currently) the only courses she could take were APs. She has 5 now and does not make for a fun senior year. I remember Halloween in 7th grade…she was doing homework until 8pm. It’s great to have smart motivated kids with access to advanced curriculum. But kids do pay a price. Its called loss of childhood. Looking back I wish we had made different choices. Don’t get caught up in the race to nowhere. You will regret it someday.
