[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about high school freshman placing into geometry, but when does the math acceleration start? Everything right now is at grade level and there is no grouping. Are people working ahead in 3rd grade, or is everyone really waiting until 6th and 7th? It seems like they need to start in elementary a year ahead in order to be a year or two ahead for high school, unless people are working ahead during middle school summers.[/quote]

This varies by school system - in privates it varies by school.

My school, back in the day, split the class based on the 7th grade math teacher’s arbitrary decisions.  Her pets were put on fast track,  Others on the slow track.  I had the top math test score my year, but she did not like me, so slow track.  However, karma, her grandchild has dyscalculia. I feel sorry for the grandchild, but not for the math teacher.

What test did you have the top score in and how do you know everyone else’s score?[/quote]
