[quote=Anonymous][quote]Helicopter moms of Bethesda, unite! Yes, this is sure to make the front page of the NYT. Your insistence that Sophie and Jack are entitled to be taught math coursework 2 or 3 grades ahead is absolutely a vital national news story.[/quote] [Report Post] Wrong issue. The issue is to return the potential pathway for willing and able children to advance in math. The issue is not about grade levels though an appropriate grade level for an individual child may theoretically span -2, -1, on grade level up to +3 or +4 above grade levels. The issue is not about moving a certain fixed percentage ahead or demoting or delaying a fixed percentage of kids. Subject mastery should be data driven. This will avoid some of the issues in the past when incompetent teachers and principals advanced incompetent students too far (to the tune of 40 percent of the class).[/quote]
