[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the schools that feed into the W schools are following all the restriction. I honestly don't know how they did what they did in BFES. At the end of the day it js just hurting those 5th graders that were not in compact math and now have missed half of 5th grade. I would not be pleased as a parent if it had happened to my child.

I do know that wayside and potomac had at least 50% in the compact math but they at least did that in 4th grade and[b] not admit kids in 5th[/b]. So at least those kids didn't lose out. [/quote]

I think BFES did a great job to adjust individual student need without causing extra resource on the county.  I can only see it reduces tax payers money to combine 5/6.

Compact is not a country club membership not a privilege to get into,  each individual student is entitled to get into as long as she/he is ready for it no matter how he/she did at 3rd or even 4th grade.   Some kids are motivated learners and can catch up during the summer.   Nothing wrong of 50% (even 100%)  being in compact -- it just happened because there were more hard working students if not smarter.

It is rather ridiculous to set a quote on the numbers or the ratio into compact. [/quote]
