OK WELL AT MY SCHOOL THEY ALLOW 6TH GRADERS TAKE PRE ALGEBRA. IF YOU DON'T GET INTO PRE-ALGEBRA YOU TAKE REGULAR MATH. BUT HOWEVER TO TAKE IT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A PRE ALGEBRA TEST TO GET IN AND THEY ALSO DO IT BY HOW WELL YOU DID IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF MATH THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE 5TH GRADE. OBVIOUSLY PRE ALGEBRA IS REALLY HARD FOR A 6TH GRADER. I REMEMBER TAKING A TEST IN 4TH GRADE THAT WAS FOR ALGEBRA 1: NEGATIVE NUMBERS AND I GOT 25 PERCENT..THATS GOOD FOR A 4TH GRADER.
MY PARENTS GOT THE RESULTS OVER THE SUMMER AND THEY NEVER TOLD ME THE RESULTS. THEY MAIL YOU THE RESULTS AND TODAY MY FRIENDS AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR PRE ALGEBRA SCORES. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY MAILED THE SCORES TO YOU.
I ASKED MY PARENTS AT DINNER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REMEMBER GETTING A LETTER OVER THE SUMMER THAT SAID THAT I WAS 1 OR 2 FREAKING POINTS/QUESTIONS OFF OF TAKING PRE-ALGEBRA.
1 OR TWO FREAKING POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT I WAS SUPER DUPER CLOSE.
I DON'T SEE WHY THEY COULDN'T OF JUST PUT ME IN PRE-ALGEBRA IF I WAS ONLY ONE OR TWO POINTS OFF BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS ONLY 3 PRE ALGEBRA CLASSES FOR 6TH GRADERS AND IN EACH CLASS THERE IS ABOUT 10-15 STUDENTS IN EACH CLASSROOM OUT OF PROBABLY 400-500 6TH GRADERS IN THE SCHOOL.
BUT I AM ALSO HAPPY THAT I AM NOT IN PRE-ALGEBRA BECAUSE ONE OF MY FRIENDS THAT GOT IN SAID THAT THE TEACHERS ARE REALLY STRICT AND THEY PUSH YOU WAY TOO HARD. THEY WILL FLIP OUT IF YOU ARE 15 SECONDS LATE TO CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
