[quote=Anonymous]If so many kids are so easily getting 2 or 3 grade levels ahead in math, doesn't that suggest that the pacing is too slow in the first place? Gifted kids should be more than capable of being at least 3 grade levels ahead. AAP math is a mere one grade level ahead, and between AAP kids and gen ed advanced math kids, it serves 40% of the FCPS students. The benchmark to be placed in gen ed advanced math is only around a 115 CogAT Q, and the AAP and advanced math classes are paced for a kid with around a 115 IQ. This pace is way to slow for 99th percentile kids. It's reasonable for parents to want a gifted level math class and not just an above average math class. Even grade skipping doesn't help because the pace is so slow within each class. Mine skipped 2nd grade math and 4th AAP math. He was still bored out of his mind, because the other kids in AAP required too much repetition to grasp the concepts. [/quote]
