[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sounded like a bright person (not gifted, however)[/quote] You joke, but one of the stated reasons for getting rid of the hyper-advanced track under 2.0 was high school math teachers complaining about kids who were advanced so quickly that they lacked the foundational skills necessary for higher level math. If we're going back to that system, the kids admitted need to be only those capable of doing the work, not just those whose parents want them on the most advanced track at any cost. [/quote] Or the teachers teaching math in ES and MS need to be better. My DC was in advanced math in ES and MS and I saw a lot of teachers who were crappy teachers teaching formulaically and without an understanding of the math concepts. In MS, the math teacher taught an entire unit of probability with incorrect formulas.... and never retaught correctly, even when brought to her attention! [/quote]
