[quote=Anonymous]In our elementary, advanced math tracks began at the end of 2nd grade. They were decided by the AP specialists, and no one was told we even had such a thing. I learned about it when a friend mentioned their kid switching to "advanced math" during math period in 3rd grade. I knew my child would be overlooked because he had an IEP for a disability (that did not affect his math or his behavior) even though he was good at math. I had to push hard for him to be in advanced math the following year, but I managed to get him in and he did great. He's in high school now and 2 years ahead in math (and never gotten anything but A's), but if I hadn't happened to find out about the "secret" advanced classes in elementary he would have been too far behind by the time we figured it out and would probably be in regular math classes today. Which would be sad because he is planning to be an engineering major. [/quote]
