[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow... Do pp here find out all these by browsing MCPS websites? I have been noticing that ES teacher/staff/PTA never tells us these information even my kid is at 4th grade now. Thanks to all these information even though I am still confused.

He is in CES _ compacted math at 4th grade now, and it is not difficult to him. I assume that he will go down the math path because he loves math. His literacy is okay. He is so far away from HS, and how do I know when there are any changes in curriculum/policies for challenging math down the MCPS?[/quote]

We are in the same boat, however my 4th grader is ambivalent to math, she likes it well enough, but is much better in literacy. Despite all this, she finds this year's math no more challenging than last year's. I always ask about this "compacted" curriculum and if she is being more engaged - she says "no." Honestly, I was hoping for a bit more.   [/quote]

It is accelerated but not enriched. Meaning, the curriculum is the same but moves faster. It is not deeper. I think MCPS would do well to offer meaningful enrichment in math in addition to acceleration, but that's not the approach they have taken.[/quote]
