[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure they would send them to the middle school?  I would fight this. It doesn't seem appropriate for him to be in a middle school class with older kids.  Also keep in mind that he would be in algebra in 5th and his grades in algebra will be on his high school transcript...[/quote]

Anything can change, but that's how it currently is done and has been for years.

It does seem to be how it is traditionally handled, but I agree that it is not appropriate. I cannot even picture how he would get off a bus (or out of my car) and find his class at the middle school. There is such a huge difference between a 4th grader and a 7th grader. [/quote]

I agree this is not a good mix, but I know of no other options MCPS will agree to. I hope they start thinking outside their box.
A younger kid in the compacted class can work because all the students care about math. IM has students of all math abilities together and I fear what will happen to elementary school students who find IM easy when they are in class with 7th graders who may be struggling with the same math.
