[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to get input on what is better for underperforming students?

Remediation reteaches content from previous units or grade level that student failed to learn.

Whereas acceleration, would allow underperforming student to start learning new concepts before it is taught in the class, readying the student for new learning alongside their classmates who get it the first time.

Sure acceleration involves parent investing their time at home or making a small investment in outside enrichment like kumon or such. But if FCPS is investing in remediation, shouldn't they be investing in or expected to pay for acceleration if that is a better way for underperforming students to be at the same level as their classmates.  [/quote] Remediation for skills based subjects (e.g. math, grammar, spelling, phonics) and acceleration for content-based subjects (e.g. science, history, English, etc)[/quote]
Arent large majority of AAP students that are engaged in outside enrichment enrolled in Math and English?[/quote]
