[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- at our school, there are 2 classes of math 4/5 and 1 class for regular math 4. It does seem that our school has chosen to accelerate most kids. 
Some kids do get outside enrichment (RSM, mathnasium, Aops etc) and therefore their scores are so high. But I am sure you don’t need to be 3 years ahead in math from doing outside enrichment to be in math 4/5. So everyone should be fine, even the kids scoring in 75th percentile. [/quote]

Seriously I’m not understanding why it’s called acceleration here. Compact math is super slow for my DD and she didn’t get outside enrichment. I let her do some Singapore math book exercises at home since she’s so [b]bored[/b] at school.[/quote]

I don’t understand it. My kids also say its boring but just because it’s boring doesn’t mean they want to do extra. But what about the kids who are receiving outside enrichment? How bored are they? And if they are bored wont they be bored always? Because they will always be ahead of the class. But in reality there is no point in being so far ahead to begin with. Not sure why it matters in dcum land.
