[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 3rd grade last year my child was pulled daily from class to go to a math class that worked more advanced material along with 3rd graders from other classes at Eaton. Maybe 12-15 kids across 3 classes were pulled? I had to sign a permission slip for it and the criteria included scores from some start of the year assessment plus continued success on unit tests. The permission slip made it clear that the children could be placed back in with their home class if they did not maintain their progress/scores. In 2nd grade my child was pulled once or twice a week for math, the daily instruction was much more effective and left the curriculum not switching back and forth.

It ended with the pandemic, of course, which left my child frustrated at having to move back to material that had already  been covered, so we ended up working with an online tutor for the remainder of the year. [/quote]

Thank you so much! It really helps to know what other schools are doing with this. I love our school and would love to stay, so may suggest they check out what Eaton is doing. Our school does absolutely nothing for advanced math learners. I talked to one parent in 3rd grade and she said when she started dealing with this in 1st grade the school told her they had never had this issue brought up. I was really surprised and disheartened to hear this, as I am positive they are just missing kids with math talent. [/quote]
