[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that if they expand options beyond 4 and 4/5 they will need to offer these options to students who are not in the HGCs as well.  It wouldn't be about expanding options for HGC students just as the expansion to the compacted curriculum was not limited to HGC students.  [/quote]

They should have an option for everyone to be above grade level if they can show mastery of the material at grade level - HCG, non-HGC - the policy to restrict is ridiculous given the population of students this county is serving.  Common core was never meant to restrict students from what they could learn, it was meant to provide a baseline for what they should be able to master.  That baseline might have more depth than before - but there is nothing that says students should hit a glass ceiling - no matter who they are.  If a child can still cover math with the added depth at a faster pace than grade level, then they should be given the same opportunities they were given before 2.0.  Everywhere...[/quote]

I agree 100%!!!!!  2.0 needs to be a floor NOT a ceiling!  That should apply to everyone.[/quote]
