[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We received a letter from the middle school. It may depend which middle school you go to. [/quote]

And [i]that[/i] is a huge equity problem.[/quote]

Whether you find out your kid's math placement in April vs May vs June is a huge equity problem?

(I mean, yeah, it's not great if a middle school puts it off until the last week of school in case there truly was an error in placement that you want to argue against.  But honestly you could make the case that that's better for equity because you're not giving the highly involved parents months to argue their kid should be up a level, and any kid who is truly placed too low should be spotted in the first month of school and bumped up anyway.)

Not so much the [i]when[/i] (though differential timing still might present a bit of a problem, as you note), but the lack of clear equivalent treatment of student identification across schools such that equivalent placement would be dependent on equivalent ability assessment and not on where a student lived.[/quote]
