[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another problem is, there is a lot of data coming from MS and HS that indicates that many "gifted" children in elementary school lack basic foundational skills because [b]in the past, they were moved too quickly on to the next topic because they were "bored" in class. [/b] This is especially true in math. Parents of these kids don't like to hear it, but sometimes, even though your kid can churn out a math formula or solve something using a strategy they've been taught, they still don't have a depth of understanding that truly leaves them prepared to move on.[/quote] Actually, in the past they were moved on too quickly because MCPS was attached to Acceleration in Math for All, regardless of personal cost to students - not because these kids were "bored" in class.[/quote]
