Usually what we get out of our efforts is related to what we put into them. One of my best interns was a CS minor, but she was (and is) great. Good luck to you.

No offense but I think Algebra should be taught in 2nd grade or so, or the latest 4th grade.

Although I failed second grade once, I was able to teach myself the rudiments of algebra by the fourth. I think that for most students, it would be a serious mistake to teach algebra in second grade (or even fourth).

I had no idea that 8th graders are studying Algebra 2 now.

It's not the norm, but it does happen. My oldest took alg 2 later than that, but youngest (referred to in this vid) took alg 1 in 7th and alg 2 in 8th. There were 4 or 5 other kids in her school who did the same. She's in 10th now and taking precalc.

wow, your daughter makes me feel REALLY dumb. I took Alg 1 in 10th, and never took Alg 2. I resigned from highschool, and took my GED test. (I moved to the south, where highschool is years behind and a GED is considered greater than a diploma, wierd I know)

Different school districts give students different opportunities. Even within a single school there can be a lot of variability among teachers.
In my kids' case, both parents have advanced degrees in math - so they have advantages that most people don't have (including me). (Both of my parents got their GEDs - dad while I was in elementary school; mom long after I had finished college.)
