Both my kids and I don't like my smart kids who are good at math to be in the lowest math group when they are actually good at math. I don't want my kids to be at a disadvantage.

I'm not the type to keep up with the Joneses in terms of material items. I don't like my kids being in the lowest math group when they are actually good at math. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm sick and on meds making me groggy.[/quote]

It actually doesn't make sense.  It's the lowest group [b]in AAP within one of the highest performing pyramids[/b], which means it's still advanced.  Also, why are you assuming that the other kids aren't as naturally adept in math as your kids?  McLean has a lot of highly educated parents, so there are many very smart kids.  Even if kids weren't taking outside classes, there's a good chance that your kids still wouldn't fall into the top group.  On top of all of that, it's likely that the only difference between the top group and the bottom group is that the top group is getting a few more projects or extensions.  There isn't a huge gulf between what the top group is getting and what the bottom group is getting.  [/quote]
