[quote=Anonymous]I've just heard that accelerated math will be reinstated at our MCPS ES this year, at least for 4th grade. 1/4 of the grade will be accelerated. I really question if this is being done for the good of the students or to appease the parents who felt like their kid lost an advantage when there was no accelerated math classroom in 3rd grade. Is it really the case that 25% of the class needs acceleration that cannot be accommodated by differentiation within the classroom in the 4th grade? How are the kids selected for acceleration? If they are so gifted, why are they not in the HCT program? Personally, I felt like the differentiation in the classroom was working fine for my 3rd grader; she was sufficiently challenged; etc. I think that 4th grade is awfully young to start tracking based on nebulous, secret criteria.[/quote]
