[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child is in second grade and you are already convinced they are gifted enough and driven enough that they [i]need[/i] to skip three years of math, that the typical path for acceleration [i]definitely[/i] won't meet their needs. It is a [i]tragedy[/i] they did not score high enough to prove this, an injustice, no, the [i]test[/i] must be wrong! I'm sure you will tell us all about how [i]they[/i] are pushing for this, the child is just super self motivated and ravenous to do more and more advanced math and you are only trying to support their passion.

140 is a hard cap. The county doesn't budge on it even with teacher recommendations. Your kid does not need to skip three years of math. I promise.[/quote]

Calm down, bitter-bad-at-math-mom. The question is why is the score so low if no questions were answered incorrectly.

OP, you can always accelerate and enrich at home outside the framework of school. If you have money, you can enroll your kid in AOPS or RSM, and if you don't have the money you can do it on your own with AOPS books like their Beast Academy series. You are the parent. You can teach your child algebra in 5th grade if you so desire. You can even find a better school system where they determine 6th math placement based on actual math ability and aptitude at 6th grade, rather than on a single test taken in 2nd grade. You're fixated on one closed door when there are many open windows all around you.[/quote]
