[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they actually still do advance math in Fairfax like up a grade or has it been dumbed down to enrichment like in Alexandria.[/quote] Some schools start in 3rd grade, but 3rd and 4th grade are essentially 1 1/2 years of math. In 5th grade,, the kids are doing 6th grade math. In 6th grade they do either 7th grade math or Algebra 1 Honors.[/quote] They did meaningfully change the math standards for advanced math before last year though. There was a huge fight on this board over whether it changed things. It did look like 3rd and 4th got easier, but then 5th picked up more than before so they were still taking the 6th grade SOLs at the end. You can search for the old threads. And now there's still 6th grade Algebra 1, so the point of acceleration just changed.[/quote]
