That is because instead of figuring out which math is best for both other kids, OP is pretending not to “understand” AAP. [/quote]

I know which Math would be best for both kids - Advanced Math 6.

What I don't understand is why my much better student (a level 2 AAP) wasn't given the choice to take Algebra 1 in 6th grade. Apparently, this was due to scoring 2 points too low on the math SOLs in 5th grade. I don't care about this, but I do find it strange that my current 5th grader (a level 4 AAP, who struggles with math) was invited to take algebra 1 next year, in 6th grade, despite not taking the math SOLs yet this year.

There's no pretending. I didn't grow up here, and I genuinely have no idea how it works. We've had zero communication about AAP with either child since they started. It wasn't until this year that I learned one was level 2 and one was level 4. They've had the same teachers and they've done the same coursework.

While they've had the same teachers and have done the same work, my Level 2 has outperformed my Level 4 by a long shot, but my Level 4 will be able to take AAP in MS, and my level 2 will not. [/quote]

But then you claim you wanted both kids in grade 6 honors math, so why is this a big deal? I think you are trying to get people worked up. If you aren’t, the. Si,ply make the best choice for your kids in math and ask the middle school if the kid doing level 4 work in elementary can select AAP in middle school. There isn’t that much difference between honors and AAP in ,idle school anyway. And it all goes away in high school[/quote]
