[quote=Anonymous][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] At our base school, math acceleration happens in 6th grade. So by the time the IAAT rolls around, they’ve theoretically completed 6th grade math and have just begun 7th grade math. So, they have less than a semester of 7th grade math before the 7th grade math SOL. SMH.[/quote]
