[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all confusing to me. I have a non-Takoma child who will go to the Blair magnet in the fall, and we already registered for her classes. The level of math she was based on the recommendation we were given by Blair. I assume it was based on her admissions test and her previous grades and math teacher's recommendation. She will be going to the math camp in the summer. Is the camp really just an opportunity for them to assess the kids? (They did say that they might adjust placements based on what they see in the class, but they also seemed fairly confident in where the children were already placed.)[/quote]
Do you mean you already know your cild's math class next year? If so how did you find out.

We were asked to register for classes, and we were told which math our daughter was recommended to take. (It was the middle of three levels, and I was told it was the level that the majority of kids would take. A small percentage take the top level (functions?) and a small percentage take the lower level, which I think includes geometry.) The middle and lower levels are accelerated, so that over time the goal is to get everyone to the same place. The middle level they recommend for my daughter means she starts calculus after a year and a half. (middle of sophomore year.) The top level starts calculus a semester earlier. I can't swear to all this, but it's my understanding. If your child has been accepted, and you have questions, call the magnet coordinator. He's very helpful. [/quote]
