[quote=Anonymous]This has been a documented problem for at least the past decade in MoCo. Parents originally pushed hard for their kids to be in the "top" math classes and the schools followed.

My kid was in 5th grade doing ok in math and I said to the teacher - really, I don't know if the top class is right for them next year, given they need extra help. They told me no, that my child was assigned the top class and that most, MOST kids who were going into that were assisted by tutors, that this was the norm.

Then I discover that there are 3-4 top groups and 1 "regular" groups for math in 6th grade.

So the problem started with the original parents over a decade ago and the knock-on effect of this is that current parents are having to deal with it and fill the gaps.

So for those of your blaming current parents for pushing their kids into classes that are too challenging - you have only got part of that story correct. I'm sure that does happen, but not for the majority of the kids, its become the norm.[/quote]
