[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 8:32 - our magnet coordinator pointed out that magnet schools were the first to notice gaps in math achievement due to too much emphasis on acceleration. Various discussions strings seem to support that the trend has been happening in VA also. At the time, we wondered why our MS did not seem very encouraging of older son's acceleration, but we understand better now. Some kids really are ready but I think it is and should be a small minority. [/quote] I think MCPS definitely accelerated too much in the past. But it seems like that they over-corrected. The small minority who needs more should be taught at their level. [/quote] How do you know that they're not? How do you know that not one single sixth-grader anywhere in any school in MCPS under any circumstances is going to be in Algebra I from now on?[/quote]
