[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were these kids not sent back to their neighborhood schools instead of extra resources spent on trying to keep them at TJ?[/quote] I think it is indicative of the push to have more and more students take higher and higher math classes. They are going through them so fast they are not developing the longterm memory needed to retain it. Yes, they understand it when they see it, but it doesn't stick. I wonder how many of these kids took a math class in the summer, to get another "year ahead". If the child was "bored" in math, perhaps it is because, sometimes math is boring. Sometimes building a good foundation is boring. Sometimes the number of repetitions is boring but it builds memory in the mind. I am sure if you ask each individual parent, (who pushes their child to take math classes in the summer or to take Algebra in 6th grade or whatever) they will tell you that their child is [i]different[/i].
