[quote=Anonymous]Level 3 is the highest the school can designate on its own without the central committee.  And I do now see it as an admission by the school that your kid is ready for more in all subjects even if the school isn't quite able to provide it...
Level 4 is determined by a group of people who never met any of the kids ( or parents) for what it's worth.
At the end of the day there is a problem with who is and isn't in advanced math.  They end up with kids in it needing extra help and kids outside it saying why can't I learn that that looks fun/ easy...
I asked a lot of questions, and was frustrated that the school system wasn't living up to their lip service if meeting every child's needs, but I never realized I was supposed to have such strong ambitions for my child to take algebra in 7th.  And obviously, in 2nd grade when these paths are being predetermined, my kid had no idea yet that that might be something they would want.  In the end dc did want it, and tells me that I should advocate more for dc2.  [/quote]
