[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder it seems inappropriate to send kids who are scoring in the 60th percentile nationally into AIM, let along middle school math/science magnets. That seems like you are setting them up for extreme stress at the very least. [/quote] A family can always ask for a less- challenging class if they think their kid would be overwhelmed, or they can always step back from AIM to 6+ after a quarter. This makes the most sense if they hadn't been in Math 5/6, but were added to the pool because of an A in Math 5, along with the other criteria -- less of a problem with duplicate content. They haven't reconstructed a good way of identifying kids needing enrichment/acceleration. If they don't offer AIM to all in the pool, they'll necessarily miss many who should be getting it.[/quote]
