[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall, politics aside, it's difficult to argue with high (or higher) standards. We don't need to accelerate borderline or so-so students or students whose parents think they should be doing more math. We [b]must[/b] provide opportunities to accelerate for students that score "off the scale" on standard school tests like MI, MAP, or IAAT. The scale of these assessments typically ends at about 2 sigma, maybe 2.5. (I'm the parent of one such student and I am observing that some of my child's fellow accelerees should not have been.) [/quote] Exactly. APS has said their goal is to accelerate more kids, but also recognizes that many kids aren't there yet and need additional supports. Especially after the pandemic. Raising the bar gives the borderline kids more time to review concepts and build a stronger foundation before accelerating. [/quote]
