[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have experience with advancing a child beyond the elementary TAG math program in ACPS? [b]Our DS is above grade level and the school has asked us several times what we plan to do with him next year since he's ready for 6th grade curriculum that they do not offer in house.[/b] We haven't had a TAG teacher in 3rd grade since the position is still vacant and we tried to create a workaround this year that created some gaps elsewhere and wasn't sufficient to meet the math needs. I'm not sure what our other options are within the bounds of ACPS.  [/quote]

Shouldn't the school/the guidance counselor/central office be helping you with this? Shouldn't they know what your options are? [/quote]

This was my thought as well.  The fact that the administration, which is very strong otherwise, is asking us what we're going to do raises some flags for me.  [/quote]

Based on experience, I wouldn't count on you school administration to solve any of this. Especially since they are clearly expecting you to solve it.  Your school should have a TAG parent liaison. Maybe they can help you navigate it.

The program isn't a priority for ACPS (and as others have posted on other threads, it's clear that ACPS is going to phase TAG out) but you could try the ACPS staffer in charge of it. Although I've heard from other parents that she often contradicts herself from parent to parent and from conversation to conversation. [/quote]
