[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is at a center school. It’s not truly accelerated anymore, it’s more “rigor”, ie, worksheets with more word problems and less teacher involvement. The classrooms are large (~25 or more) so individual differentiation is limited if any at all. As you would expect, many of the kids are advanced in math, but the teacher is still required to follow the general curriculum for the grade. Those at the top of the class are usually coasting. There is very little hw (5 mins or less for DC) but it varies by teacher. You may want to consider upgrading to another private school instead of public, assuming cost is not an issue.[/quote]

Truthfully, it all depends on the teacher which is impossible to predict. My DC is also at a center. Last year was a breeze, not much acceleration. The teacher this year is providing much more content via acceleration (she quickly goes through the required content and then has time for her own more difficult content) and there is much more focus on writing. Multiple kids are struggling, in a good way. I'm very pleased with the rigor this year, but who knows if it will continue next year and beyond.  [/quote]
