[quote=Anonymous]So I don't think there is any chance MCPS is going to keep compacted math with the same broad eligibility it currently has-- they are probably right that currently there are too many kids in it for whom it's not a good fit (and what they really need is just some real enrichment and challenge at the regular pace ) But assuming there are only 5-10% of kids who really need acceleration, that's only like 5-10ish kids per grade in most schools (less in some.) Which is too small for cohorted classes. I am guessing it is this reality that led them to this solution of cluster grouping. If we want to fight against this, I think we need to come up with a feasible strategy for how to make math acceleration work for 5-10 kids per grade, one that is affordable in tight budget times. What could that strategy be? [/quote]
