[quote=Anonymous]That seems strange but did you see the recent talk about grade inflation? Is it possible your child only has As because she's retaking quizzes or because the testing is so superficial? I would talk to the teacher to get more information. Don't be defensive. Be open. Maybe she noticed it takes your child longer to get concepts or that she is memorizing formulas but doesn't really understand the material?

DD is at a W feeder and her friends are all over the map in terms of how they are doing in IM. Some friends who did well in compacted 5/6 are struggling in IM but other friends think IM is not that difficult. There was some movement at the beginning of the year with a couple kids dropping down to Math 6 and one child moving up to her class.

You should consider your child's anxiety level, interest in math, her work habits and other study skills before making a decision. The teacher may be wrong about IM but think of your child's long-term trajectory and whether you think she'll be happy in higher level math in HS.[/quote]
