[quote=Anonymous]The kids at SH who made this decision were solid but not spectacular math students (mid to high 4s on PARCC in math) who were on the medium acceleration track (basically 6th & 7th grade math combined). About half the kids who come out of the track then head to 8th grade math and half do normal 7th. They both were recommended to head to 8th and decided to do 7th again because it was the difference between a guaranteed A and a possible A- and/or having to dedicate disproportionate resources to that class. Kids’ parents point out they can catch back up to the accelerated path with Mathnasium + summer math maybe even by 8th, since that doesn’t count for Walls entry; definitely by 9th. I think it’s a big flaw in the system, but I don’t think the parents are crazy. [/quote]
