Take equity out of the equation. What is the valid scientific support for it? [/quote]

DP. My APS teacher friend said that they slowed down math acceleration several years ago when the HS math teachers complained about the preparedness of students who were accelerated by 3 years. Now it's just max 2 years (A1 in 7th). It had nothing to do with equity, just student performance.
