129. Why high school for algebra? Why not junior high? Why not elementary?

The reason I ask is because I know many people who didn't take or didn't pass algebra in HS who went on to pass it in community college or master several of its concepts in trade school. I don't think you should be able to graduate if you can't do basic arithmetic, though.
