[quote=Anonymous]In our school, where parents really, really push for kids to be "above grade level," I haven't seen kids moved up mid-year. The pushing parent succeeds at the beginning of the year, occasionally, to move the kid into "higher" math, but it is rare after that. Sometimes, kids are moved down but not up. It makes sense in many ways. After all, by moving mid-year, you would be skipping over basic skills and certain concepts to move to the higher class. What is the point of that? I think this type of concept-skipping is what caused the county to pull back on acceleration in general. Too many kids were missing the basics.[/quote]
