[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now, why do you think people game the system?[/quote] It's usually one of two factors, and they don't tend to overlap: 1. Pressure cooker area where everyone is in an arms race to be at the top 2. High poverty, high ESL base school (FRM >40%) where kids who are on or above grade level get boned There's also no real, county-wide definition of what "Level III" entails. So if your above average kid is at a base school that doesn't offer Advanced Math until 5th grade and the only advanced differentiation is a weekly hour long pullout, whereas other schools offer a much more comprehensive Level III program, you have every right to want more.[/quote]
