[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, we came into 6th grade without any MAP scores in the last few years...we were overseas and they didn't give the test during the pandemic. We had a teacher rec, and they placed us in HIGH/AIM (and she's done fine, has pretty much had an A+ in both classes and in 99th percentile since taking the exam again). [/quote] This anecdote, and a dozen like it, point out that kids' math capabilities early on are, typically, more advanced than the level at which we teach in the US. Other education-focused countries are quick to provide the challenge that we denigrate as bound to privilege. Not saying that the PP's DC isn't highly capable, on top of whatever overseas instruction might have been afforded.[/quote] This is why we supplement in math. I really think we are doing a disservice to kids offering so little rigor. [/quote]
