[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A thread on schools with strong performing arts devolved into snobby parents arguing about MVC.

Our kids deserve the same strong academics as your kids get.  Kids can be smart and academic and be into arts.  [/quote]

Wondering about Loiederman MS rigor?[/quote]

Every school depends more on the actual teachers. [b]Loiederman is one school that starts algebra in 6th.[/b][/quote]

How do they assign 6th graders to that?  Do they use a MAP-M cutoff?  Is there a feeder elementary regularly providing acceleration beyond Math 5/6 (e.g., a Loiederman math teacher walking over to Weller Road) that completes the preAlgebra curriculum in 5th?  Does Wheaton send someone to Loiederman to teach Algebra 2 in 8th, or do the kids get bussed the other way for that?[/quote]

Either they bus the kids or have a teacher teach.  It depends on the year how many.  [/quote]

OK, that may be how they teach the class (either preAlgebra in ES or Algebra 2 in MS).

How do they identify 6th graders for Algebra 1?  Do they use a MAP-M cutoff?  Alternately, is there a feeder ES regularly offering acceleration beyond Math 5/6 that completes the lead-up to Algebra 1?  If so, which ES?[/quote]
