[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is holding advanced kids back. The reason for the change is that too many kids were failing advanced math/required extensive tutoring or enrichment to keep up. This change to 3rd and 4th gets them to where they need to be in 6th and 7th without too many children falling behind.[/quote] That was the justification for slowing down 3rd-4th advanced. I asked for specifics of this supposed epidemic of kids failing advanced math. What percentage of kids are we talking? At what point was the failing happening? Somehow it never materialized. And why not just have more stringent entry requirements for advanced math then, instead of slowing down everyone? I think the original plan was to pull 5th advanced back too in a few years. There’s going to be a drop in 5th advanced math scores as the kids currently in 3rd and 4th get to 5th less prepared, which would have been a good excuse. [/quote]
