[quote=Anonymous]It’s not uncommon for MCPS to sell students short when recommending for the next level. If they cannot articulate a clear and believable reason I would push hard for the higher placement. Some things to keep in mind * of all subjects it’s hardest to accelerate in math as the curriculum is hierarchical * IM is not a high school class, if she is struggling next fall move her to 6.0 and no harm done * the middle school not the ES makes the final determination And the big one, stereotyping in STEM placements leads to more boys than girls winding up on the upper tracks. Its unfortunate but as parents of girls we needed to advocate for them several times with respect to math placements. [/quote]
