[quote=Anonymous]Aim high, drop back if needed (and be willing to admit need.) The ability to get good recommendations from elementary to middle varies by cluster and by teacher. I think some teachers just want their kiddos to be taken care of and have an easy time, rather than rise to a challenge. I taught at a MSMC consortium school, so we got kids from everywhere and some of the placements were just awful - so many kids put in lower level classes, even though their MAP-M scores justified a higher class. One year we got almost 50 kids that should have been accelerated and weren't. The math department put together a special class (two sections) to compact Math 6 and IM so they could take Algebra in 7th, which they were ready for.[/quote]
