[quote=Anonymous]Many schools have an Advanced Math class regardless of LIV class or LLIV class, they are not all push in. Our school had an Advanced math class where all the kids in the class were in Advanced Math. If there are enough kids ready for Advanced Math, schools will get them that class.

There is no perfect system, there just isn’t. But plenty of kids are in Advanced Math outside of LIV/LLIV, 15% of 7th graders end up in Algebra 1 H and not all of those are principal placed or committee placed kids. I know at least three kids from my son’s 6th grade class that are in Algebra that were in Advanced Math and not LIV placed. I also know a few kids who choose to take 7th H because they are not fans of math but could have been in Algebra 1 who had not been Principal or Committee place.

Kids futures are not determined by where they land in third grade. Most kids are on a Calculus track because they will take Algebra sometime in MS. There is nothing wrong with that. 15% might take Multivariate Calculus Senior year but kids drop off the advanced path on a regular basis.

The people in the forum place way too much emphasis on LIV and Advanced Math. It washes out by MS, earliest, or HS, latest. Every parent in HS tells you that AAP or not doesn’t matter. Every Teacher tells you that. [/quote]
