[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that's a little crazy ... Unless you hope he graduates early and goes to MIT.  The end game is also ugly.  Algebra in 5th (at MS), Geometry in 6th (at MS), Alg 2/Precalc in 7th (at MS), calc in 8 th (at HS) and then 4 more years of required math through the HS.  I can only imagine this working at Blair.

Is your child miserable without this acceleration? There is the regular 4th and 5 th grade math track rather than compacted.   If heading to MS for math, plan to go to an early morning class.[/quote]

OP here- Agreed, it's a little crazy. We asked for a meeting to discuss his math placement when he started complaining that he didn't like math and didn't want to do his homework, where before he loved anything to do with math. We thought they might bump him to 2nd, but we were very surprised they put him in 3rd. He does love it though, and the teacher reports he is one of the top students. Math is certainly his favorite part of the day, but the long-term repercussions are intimidating to say the least. Yes, he would probably have to end up at a magnet, but it just seems to early to think about that when he's in first grade![/quote]
