[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“there are schools in the DMV and beyond where students are learning next year’s math outside of school and then lobbying the administration for a subject acceleration. When more and more kids do this it changes the culture of the school. ” Yes. This is the problem. It is one thing if you simply “get it” very quickly in school; it is another if you are spending eons outside of school pre-learning all the material. [/quote] How does it truly change the culture of a school? At my AAP center, a handful of kids jumped up to 6th grade Algebra. Some of those kids are probably doing outside school and aren't brilliant at math. Most of the other kids in the grade don't care, and most of the parents don't seem to even be aware that other kids have jumped up. My DD is taking the 6th grade AAP math and is not jumped up to Algebra. I don't see how it affects her at all. No one is forcing you to participate in the race to nowhere. [/quote]
