[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a different 10 year-old enrolled in multi variable calculus at McLean HS with all the HS seniors.

These students are proof of why there must be grouping by academic ability, instead of the absurd inclusion and equity-approaches pushed by Gatehouse and Reid.[/quote]

That kid must have transferred into FCPS from elsewhere.  FCPS absolutely does not allow any kid, no matter how gifted, to progress this quickly.  [/quote]The student is definitely attending the multi variable calc class at McLean, he then goes back to his normal ES. [/quote]

Sure.  But FCPS absolutely does not accelerate kids to this level.  The kid likely took Algebra I in like 1st grade in some other school setting, and then transferred into FCPS later.  FCPS will honor credit and placement from other schools, but Gatehouse is flat out unwilling to jump a kid up more than 2 or 3 years in math, even if the kid is testing at the ceiling of every available test.  [/quote]

Just adding to this.  The VDOE test results from the last 20 years show that although occasionally kids as young as 1st grade have taken the Algebra I SOL in VA, the page shows that only *1 kid* in FCPS in the last 20 years has taken the Algebra I SOL in 4th grade, and no one has done so in grades lower than 4th.
