Some of you mentioned an "algebra readiness" test. I didn't know it existed so I appreciate hearing about it here! I didn't get that phone call yesterday that I was assured of, so perhaps today.
If DS10 takes the assessment of accelerated 7, the score could be "low" enough for them to say he should take the class. But I'd rather see a "high" enough score on algebra readiness and then we can decide that perhaps he is ready for Algebra I a year early, which is offered to 8th grade honors students and they've never offered it to a 7th grader before. And this would offset any worries about "gaps" that the math instructional coordinator brought up last week.
Would anyone agree this is a good approach? What kind of score on the Algebra Readiness test is good enough for my son to do well in this class? 70s? 80s? 90s? My son WANTS hard work. So how much does that count in the final decision?
