[quote=Anonymous]Ughhh...I just pulled my 5th grader out of Advanced Math in FCPS because I felt it moved too quickly and key concepts were not being taught with any depth. Given that these early years of math are so important for future success in math in middle and high school, DH and I felt that it was better to make sure that DC was getting a solid grounding in the subject matter rather than skimming over the material. However, I was told by the school that DC will not be able to take Adv. Math in 6th as a result of this move. DC is not a natural at math and is one of those that has to work hard at it--with help from DH and a weekly tutor (she got a "3" last quarter but it was a struggle). DC was placed in Advanced Math based on scores and teacher recommendations, not as a result of any interference from my part. My gut tells me that I did the right thing but I'm wondering if it's going to come back and bite us later.... Has anyone had personal experience with this? [/quote]
