[quote=Anonymous][quote]Now under C2.0, there appears to be only 1 point in time to get on the acceleration train and that is between 3 and 4th grade, and a student can only be accelerate 1year (unless, maybe, they go to summer school in high school to get ahead). I think this is bad education policy. [/quote] This is apparently not the case all of the time. In our school the Compacted Math class added a significant number of students between 4th and 5th grades. In fact, the 5/6 Compacted Math class is the largest 5th grade math class at the school with 31 students. It can be so big because it is technically a middle school class (and therefore could go up to 35 students). Exactly how students are chosen to join Compacted Math - whether in 4th or 5th grade - is not at all clear. Whether there is an evaluation that takes place to consider whether children in the advanced math course should continue in that course is not clear either.[/quote]
