[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wild guess. Without learning-in-advance at outside enrichment center and/or at home, about half of AAP students would be sitting in remedial.  [/quote]Yes, a surprising number has been paying into these Kumon type places since Pre-K.  It’s what keeps RSM, AoPS, Kumon, Mathnasium, Tutoring Club, and Outreach profitable.  Many are secretive about it.  You learn 7 years later.  It’s a shockingly high percentage. [/quote]
When FCPS knows there is so much demand for above grade math, why are they not adding even higher advanced math classes? Or has local enrichment industry lobbied to keep public school math at a lower level?[/quote]

The kids taking RSM, AOPS, etc. to preteach material before being taught it in class don't want higher advanced math classes - then they would have to preteach and prelearn those too.  They are taking RSM, AOPS "for fun" and in order to get easy As in their school classes without having to worry about getting lower grades while learning for the first time.  [/quote]
