[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP's that are saying there are slow downs are only partly correct.  They can only come from a parent and not from the school/teacher.  Even if a child is greatly struggling in 5/6, teachers are not allowed to recommend them for anything except for IM, because otherwise they would be repeating a class.  Even if a parent asks, we are expected to tell them the truth- that their child is passing the class and that they are therefore recommended for the next class even if in our minds we are trying to tell the parent (or strongly hint) that this is not the correct path for their child.  And from reading DCUM, it is obvious that no parent wants a child that is not in the accelerated class even if it is not right for the child.   Just make sure that you are setting your child up for success![/quote]
You are wrong.
We have child who did not struggled, but asked with parents to be moved in regular class in 5th grade. Child felt it was too much...[/quote]

This is correct.  The PARENT instigated the change.  In this case the child had also not started 6th grade math and was not repeating a grade.  That is different than finishing the entire 6th grade curriculum including all of the county tests and repeating the whole class.[/quote]
