[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child doesn't start in Level 3 advanced math in 3rd grade, does that mean they are screwed if they get into AAP in a later grade? Like if my child gets into AAP next year or in 4th grade, would she be behind?[/quote]

If your child's bright enough to get into AAP, with package support form the teachers/school and validated from the committee, they'll do fine in whatever grade they do get in.  [b]Most kids are grade(s) ahead in math anyway, or are intelligent enough to pick it up almost immediately anyway if it wasn't already taught.[/b]

Most kids are not grades ahead in math. Maybe it's just that we're not at a high SES center, but kids in our school range from incredibly bright to on the remedial track working diligently with tutors to keep up. We're at a school that was marked "moderate TJ mania" on the old TJ mania map, so it's not a slouch school either.

Advanced is allowed to be advanced. There's allowed to be a range. It's OK if it's only a very select few kids who are on the crazy smart track, just like it's OK if there's only a select few kids who are going to play D1 college soccer.[/quote]
