[quote=Anonymous]Yes. It is just a relabeling of the old class except they try to actually teach 8th grade math, rather than skipping from Math 7 to Algebra I. Because they teach 8th grade math, they give the 8th grade SOL. I don't see what the problem is with giving the SOL that reflects the content they learned? It doesn't go on your "permanent record." The only downside on the SOL seems to be for the school if the kids do poorly. If my kid seemed in over his head or was struggling, I would pull him out, of course. My kid learned the 6th grade standards in 5th grade. But if kids can handle this challenge what is the problem? It's only first quarter, so we'll have to see what happens when they ramp up more. But I'm pretty sure this is the same trajectory that the AAP kids in on in Fairfax.[/quote]
