[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True to the above but I've found Local level to be watered down. [/quote]

We have one kid at the center and one in local level IV. The center is definitely more rigorous than our specific elementary. The situation may be different for others.[/quote]

How so? Can you give specific examples?[/quote]

The math moves faster for sure.  We had a kid transfer from LLIV to the center after 3rd and they were behind the rest of the class--a number of concepts hadn't been covered. Center also has way more homework. Our LLIV program is a cluster model and the kids don't get LIV LA/science/SS every day.  LIV LA is only twice a week and science/SS is only once. On off-days they get the gen ed curriculum. Center gets LIV material in every subject every day.[/quote]

It looks like your situation is school specific. I have a kid at a LL4 and they have a class filled with Level 4 and 3 students. Math is at the same pace as my neighbor’s kid at the center. We have kids come back from the center every year. I think a lot comes down to the following: how Level 4 is structured, school community and teacher. We have been so impressed with our kid’s teachers at our LL4. [/quote]

This is part of the problem. The quality of LLIV programming seems to vary tremendously From one school to the next.[/quote]
