[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does Reid / FCPS think this is a good idea? It seems nuts to remove screening thresholds for this class at such an early age. [/quote] Because she is terrible at her job. Also cause they are now compacting math. Next years 5th graders Gen Ed will be doing 5th grade and 1/2 of 6th, AAP 5th graders will be doing 1/2 of 6th, 1/2 of 7th.[/quote] Some of the concept 'stretching'/'acceleration' in math is actually working - along with the focus on numeracy (different ways to visualize and solve problems), math scores across the system are improving. But there's a logical leap between that trend and 'all these kids can take Alg 1 in sixth!" that I am not willing to make.[/quote]
