The people who propose middle school students take algebra classes should be taken out and shot.
One of the biggest outrages I saw as a teacher was middle school students were being taught pre-algebra and algebra in middle school. Most students couldn't grasp it, and of course a lot of them were already special education students, students who were put in sped because of shitty curriculum taught in elementary schools.
It's totally inappropriate to teach algebra to students who for the most part don't have the abstract capability to learn it.
Many adults NEVER master it, and those who do usually find out they forget it and have to relearn it.
Practically speaking, you almost never use algebra anyway unless you are a math teacher.
