Compacted math gets kids to calculus in 11th grade.   Not that many kids need to be on that path.

Maybe I am too pessimistic but [b]in middle school at some schools all kids are in "advanced english[/b]".   I am sorry, if everyone is in the class it is not "advanced".   My kid that is reading at 11th grade level is not going to get proper instruction in a class with kids at 3rd grade level.      That is not a good situation for anyone.  [/quote]

Discuss this with your school's principal.[/quote]

[b]I should not have to talk to the principal to make sure my kid is getting properly challenged.[/b]  If we want to talk about achievement gap this could be perfect example.  A non English speaking parent is less likely to be tracking down the principal to discuss things like this.   This is exactly why appropriate instruction needs to be the default, not something you have to fight for.    Using the english as an example here.  I would hate to see the math classes end up in the same boat.    [/quote]

It's the principal's decision.

But if you don't want to talk to the principal on grounds that you shouldn't have to, then don't.[/quote]
