[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is appalling.  Having an elementary aged kid start school an hour earlier and go to a middle school building simply to get the appropriate level of instruction is pathetic.  Way to motivate the high achieving student - not.[/quote]

I don't know, every kid I know who had advanced math in middle school loved it.  They got to take the bus to middle school and hang out with some of the older kids.  [/quote]

I get what you are saying, but in those situations kids were going to middle school in order to do "advanced" math. Here it is elementary kids going to middle school in order to get elementary math!  A school should provide elem math in elem school.  If you are so advanced that you need middle school math, then fine, go to a middle school as a choice for advancement.  That is not what's happening here and it is a disservice to these kids in my opinion.[/quote]

I agree.  They are being taught elementary school level math and there are a lot of kids who were accepted for the program.  It seems like it could be handled in the elementary schools.  [/quote]
