[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In practice, M7H at center schools is often faster paced or has less review than the same class at a local school due to the former having fewer strugglers and a better prepared student population.

You're gross.  This is an elitist, ridiculous post that isnt even relevant to the OP's question.[/quote]

It isn't gross, it is true. The kids at Poe have had a very different educational experience then most of the kids at Carson, Longfellow, Cooper, or Rocky Run. More kids at Poe are coming out of high FARMs and ELL schools then the kids at Carson. They have had different type of math exposure then the kids at Carson. Heck, math at Carson is going to be different then math at Franklin because of the number of kids moving to Carson from Franklin for AAP. A decent number of the AAP kids that attend Carson as their Center school have been in enrichment through ES, they know A1H and Geometry before they get to MS.

That is reality. Teachers are going to teach to the kids that they have in their classroom. The classroom looks very different at schools with higher poverty levels then base schools with less poverty than Center schools with lower poverty. It is what it is.

One of the complaints at Carson is that too many teachers are teaching to the kids in the class who have been participating in enrichment, so they already know the material in A1H or Geometry. Kids who have not had that enrichment struggle and parents complain that the class is moving too quickly or not being taught properly because the teacher is teaching to the 2/3 of the class that have been at enrichment.  I have no clue what the percentage of kids in AAP at Carson have been in some sort of math enrichment, but knowing the kids and the parents, I would guess that the vast majority have been in some type of enrichment. My view might be biased because my kid is in Mathcounts and I know that the kids he is hanging out with have all done enrichment.
