[quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts. To get recommended for AIM at many middle schools you have to be in the lottery pool for the math/sci/computer sci magnet, so you might not have a choice. Depending on your school, the students who get recommended could be a mixed bag. If your MS pulls from elementary schools with varying farms rates, the span of MAP scores qualifying will be greater and there could be kids from math 5 and math 5/6. I'd pick the course that is right for your child now (if you have a choice). Both courses are accelerated and strong courses. AMP 6+ will give a better foundation and may fill in some of the holes you mention and give your child independence. I've been told there is not really a good off ramp from AIM. There is more repeat of topics going from AIM into AMP7+ than going from 5/6 to AMP6+. I would wait for the results letters before. having conversations with kids, but then if both are options talk to them. Going [/quote]
