[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AAP label is permanent, and a kid cannot be removed.  Hypothetically speaking, if an AAP 5th grader fails the 6th grade math SOL, then the school will have to spend a bunch of resources on remediation for that kid to help them pass 6th grade math, rather than take the logical step of dropping them down to grade level math.

I know kids who moved from LIV to Gen Ed math. I know the parents who flat out admitted that their kid was not ready for Advanced Math and made the move in 5th grade, when the grade skip comes. I am not sure how much of a conversation occurs between the school and the parent. I also know kids in LIV who barely scrape a pass on the math SOL in 5th and 6th grade, again parents share info, and who scored in the 70th and 80th percentile on the IAAT.

FCPS needs an Advanced Math and Advanced LA path for kids so that each group of kids can be placed in sections that work for them. Too many kids who are strong in LA end up in LIV who struggle with the math because there is not a comparable Advanced Math class and the parent want their kids in a class that is more challenging for LA. Since there is not an Advanced LA class, the parents push for LIV services and the kids struggle with the math. [/quote]
