[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do parents have to give permission for their child to be in compacted 4/5 math?  [/quote]

The letter that came home to parents indicates that it would be a more demanding curriculum than the regular 2.0 math curriculum.  It also notes that 2.0 is already rigorous so parents would need to be aware of the faster pace and additional demands that would be placed on the kids taking the compacted course.  There may be some parents who prefer that their children move at a slower pace for whatever reason.[/quote]

It's a bit odd only because they do not consult about other enrichment (our school uses pull outs with a specialist in math and reading) or placement in reading groups, etc., that might be more demanding.  [/quote]

[b]I know that there were people who were not happy about their child being in the above-grade-level math group under Math Pathways. Maybe requiring parents to give permission is a way to avoid that issue.[/b] [/quote]

Wow.  It's really hard to please some people.  [/quote]
