[quote=Anonymous]The standards for 4/5 math have been changed to get more students who can succeed into the class. If you want to call them "lowered" it's up to you, but it seems like a better, more open, process to me. Prior to last year, they gave an examination to 3rd Graders, who were selected on the basis of their InView Score. They administered a UCARE assessment, and if the kid received the county assigned cut off scores they were in, if they did not, they were out. This test was supposed to identify children who "needed" enriched math instruction. Last year they scrapped this very strict procedure, and decided to identify kids who would be able to succeed in math 4/5 using all the available data. [/quote]
