[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a one time - teacher decided- decision is horrible. Based on whether your kid made the cut or not tracks them all the way through high school.  The kids in compact math will feel smarter and "good at math".  As a society, we need to increase opportunities for students to excel in stem classes (especially girls).  Unfortunately, [b]this one shot decision made by only one elemetary teacher[/b] will have long term effects. [/quote]

Also, not only is it not a one-shot decision, but lots of people have input into the decision on compacted math in third grade -- or at least that's how my child's teacher explained it. The child takes a series of tests over months, then the district takes the scores from all of the children in the district to decide what the cut-off score is, and then the third-grade team gets together with the counselor, the data specialist, and probably other people to decide about the children who were above the cut-off score.[/quote]
