[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes, but you cannot control school dynamics and teachers. [/quote]

You can't control teachers but FCPS could be more prescriptive about the way LLIV is administered. Kids should be getting LIV instruction every day in every subject as they do at the centers.[/quote]
