[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in 7/6 and has always done well in math at DC's JKLM alma mater and had 100% proficiency on the DC CAS math section this year-should DC ask why they were placed there? Can children re-take the placement test later on in the year?[/quote]

I guess what one considers remedial is, up to a certain level, a subjective matter. I have the feeling that 7/6 is not considered remedial by BASIS, but somebody maybe could explain the actual meaning to the rest of us. [/quote]

It's remedial only in the sense that BASIS has certain expectations for each grade -- Algebra 1 in 7th, Pre-Algebra in 6th, etc.  If it's possible for a 5th grader in 7/6 to move on to Pre-Algebra in 6th, then I suppose it's not remedial at all.[/quote]

Also, keep in mind there is no hurry and all of the math classes are accelerated compared to other schools generally. Secondly, even though a student starts out in Saxon 7/6, it is possible they could learn enough to accelerate to Algebra 1 the next year.[/quote]
