[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people debating semantics? Kids who are 0.5-1.5 SD above the norm belong in a mildly accelerated path, which is 12th grade calculus. Kids who are +1.5-2.5 SD belong on a more accelerated path. And so on. This is pretty close to the way FCPS already handles math. It’s absurd to suggest that kids ranging from barely above average through the 98th or 98th percentile would all be well served and have their needs met in the same math class. [/quote] There's gen ed, advanced, and accelerated. Gen Ed is precalc by 12th, advanced is calc bc by 12th, and accelerated is Multivariable Calculus by 12th. Additionally, any of them do ap statistics on the side as an additional elective. [/quote] LOL. Love how you’re just making up definitions there. :lol: “Accelerated” simply means taking any class above class level. [/quote]
