[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish they would strengthen level III though.  Bright gen ed and middle of the pack & below in level IV are pretty much the same.  But kids who don’t get in don’t get to be challenged.  It’s completely unfair.

DP and also agree. It's not delivered equally across schools at all. If we've learned anything this year, it's that certain decisions should not be left up to individual principals because they'll do the absolute bare minimum until/unless they're pushed.[/quote]

Also strengthening Level III would alleviate some of the push for Level IV. My base ES is a great example - no advanced math until 5th, part time AART, Level III is an hour once a week (at best as it is often the thing dropped for testing, assemblies, etc.). The difference between that and Level IV is massive.[/quote]

Some schools have advanced math starting in 3rd grade & some in 5th. I do think that’s messed up. My base school does not have local level IV or advanced math til 5th grade & that was a big reason to send our mathy kid to the center when we didn’t necessarily want to leave the base. [/quote]
