[QUOTE="momtoagreatkid, post: 166791, member: 2345"] General education level math for eighth grade is pre-algebra, so all an eighth-grade student has to know to pass the math TAKS is pre-algebra. In order for your son to be in algebra in the eighth grade, he has to have taken pre-algebra in the seventh grade, meaning he's considered to be in advanced math, by taking algebra in eighth. Because he was accepted into pre-AP algebra, he should have done very well in pre-algebra in seventh. At my son's school, he would have had to have made commended performance on his seventh-grade math TAKS AND made an A in pre-algebra in seventh grade, in order to be placed in pre-AP algebra in eighth. Did your son do this well in math in seventh grade? If so, it sounds to me like he just choked on the math TAKS or was depressed that day or wasn't feeling well...something. He should have been able to pass the math TAKS easily. [/QUOTE]
