[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Our DD is in 6th grade AAP in fairfax county. We have to supplement as they move too fast in math. They cram for 2 weeks and take a block test, then move on to another topic. We took our kid to mathnasium and they said she barely understands 4th grade material. They said the school just skips over material too fast, retests and just keeps going forward. It doesn't really matter if they understand the material, a lot of teachers have to prep the kids for the tests. We feel like we need to supplement just to understand the basics the school skipped over. [/quote] That sounds awful. Did she prep to get into AAP or how did she get selected for it and stay in if she doesn't understand the 4th grade material? I sometimes grumble about our spiral curriculum because it seems like DS has been working on and revisiting and revisiting (and revisiting again!) the same material for so long, but your DD's class situation sounds stressful.[/quote]
