[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is 6th grade math not offered at your school through 5th grade TAG? The school guidance counselor should provide options. Maybe you can transfer to a school with a TAG teacher for 5th grade TAG or you could ask the school district to pay for a Fusion Academy course.[/quote]

This is a great question.  I don't know.  The TAG program will cover 4th/5th grade math with next year, which means all of the 5th graders in TAG need 6th grade math. We will probably try TAG math with his grade level.  As the above poster mentioned, at least we can make sure that there aren't any gaps in his learning.  We gave up on academic growth this year, aside from working with him at home, understanding that social growth post-pandemic school closures is just as important, if not more so.  I am just concerned that we're about to give up another year of academic growth because ACPS isn't actually meeting every child where they're at.    [/quote

So they offer 4th TAG but not 5th? Weird. Our 5th grade TAG was strong—they covered the sixth curriculum and then some. We switched to private and entered 7th grade math. Child does love math though [/quote]
