Do you mean LCPS for slowing down the acceleration a wee bit so kids aren't [i]three[/i] grade levels ahead?

Maybe they aren't seeing good outcomes from too many kids accelerating so much. Maybe they aren't demonstrating depth of knowledge. Maybe not enough kids qualified enough to justify the course offering.

I can think of many reasons that are pro-education.

Wrong on all three counts.  And they are also eliminating two grade levels ahead, which at some schools was more than half the class.
Not enough to justify the course makes no sense, since multiple grades are in the same class.  It only is an issue once you get to 8th graders taking algebra 2, and Stone Hill has multiple classes of this in school, while other schools might have kids take a bus to the high school, which is not exclusive to advanced math, but also music and languages.[/quote]

Sorry your kid bombed the SOL and math inventory. They only want the smart kids taking Algebra early.
