[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Capitol Hill DCPS lets my DD take math class w/ the grade ahead of her, provides her w/ an adaptive math app on which she works about 2 grades ahead, and sets all of her math apps to one grade ahead. It's actually been better than I've expected so far (she's young still).[/quote] That could never happen at Lafayette. Between the principal's general inflexibility and the scheduling difficulties from being a large school, kids are going to take the same class as their classmates, with no acceleration.[/quote] Wow. It’s when people say things like this that I realized that maybe I take my non-NW school for granted. Scheduling difficulties shouldn’t be any harder at a bigger school — you only need one class’s math instruction to be at a time when the kid a grade level down can attend. I would think that might be easier at a bigger school in some ways?[/quote]
