Why's that a problem? Here it's normal to go into Algebra I or Geometry as freshman.
Then, from Geometry, one would go Algebra II/Trigonometry (a single class), Pre-Calculus, and then Calculus. I have a friend who did Pre-Calc as a freshman, though, so he'll do like statistics or applied mathematics next year, I believe, because he's doing AP Calc or something this year.

Re: Understanding Algebra
Man, I love Algebra so much... Is it normal to go into Algebra 1 at 6th grade?

Depends on where you are and your level of math.

I actually don't know why its a problem, really, because my parents seem to make a big deal out of it.
'Cause I'm NUMBER ONE.

Did anyone else do Algebra 1 in 8th grade?
I did. It was really really easy that I pretested out of every chapter. Currently I'm in pre-calc/trig.
Wow, what grade are you in? Surely not ninth...
I'm in ninth grade working on Geometry.
oh! no, I'm in ninth grade. my education in math is quite confusing.

Re: Understanding Algebra
I live near one of the best high schools in the United States, so I'll hopefully be able to take calculus in 9th grade or something 
. I wish there were more above grade level classes
