[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m feeling bummed my 3rd grader wasn’t selected for accelerated math. He’s more than capable but he didn’t meet all the metrics based on MAP scores (grades and district assessment were high) and the school won’t budge on the decision. I know this isn’t a huge deal but I do worry about him being in grade level and not having the opportunity to take more challenging classes in MS and high school since this basically locks you in on a certain path now. My DD is 9th and grade level because he has a math LD which is perfect for her but it does feel like a true separation from kids who are on a more accelerated track and you’re basically shut out of that at a young age. Anyone else feeling or has felt this way?  [/quote]

There are many opportunities. We unenrolled our son for fourth grade for health issues. He was slated for compacted math. When we re-enrolled him in December, they denied him compacted math because in his test, he lacked some earlier knowledge. He was just fine on more advanced concepts, though. The whole thing was a sham, since the students in compacted math would have scored the same…

He had regular math for 4th and 5th grades. When he went to middle school for 6th, they put him in advanced/AMP6+. Next year he will be in algebra for 7th grade. [/quote]

If he took 6+ in 6th, he should be in 7+ for 7th—is your school having him skip learning the 8th grade material and putting him straight in Algebra for 7th? That is surprising. [/quote]

The kids with highest MAP-M scores and grades can be moved to algebra.[/quote]
