[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, some kids are being held back in comparison to before. I've got a current 5th grader finishing up grade 7 math. Still taking IM next year at a magnet.[/quote]

I don't understand your post.

I actually thought this was the normal pre-C2.0 pathway for those 2 years accelerated -- math 7 in 5th grade, IM in 6th grade and Algebra in 7th.  This gets a student to Calculus in 11th grade.

Why do you consider this being held back?  Only a very few kids were accelerated 3 years or more pre-C2.0.  Was your child accelerated 3 years or more and then made to repeat or held back under C2.0?  This would be odd, because C2.0 is only starting to roll out in the upper grades with Algebra next year, as I understand it and gr. 4 and 5 math C2.0.  Kids above grade 5 math (regardless of age) were supposed to be left alone this year and not subject to C2.0.  [/quote]

I agree.  I was at the Takoma Park magnet program info meeting.  Kids taking Math 7 (Math B) in fifth grade will take IM in 6th grade.  This is their normal pathway and has not changed.  The vast majority of kids taking Math 7 at my child's HGC are recommended for IM next year - again I was told this is nothing new.  I am happy with this in part because they rollout C2.0 Algebra next year and I would rather not have my child take it with the first batch of students.  [/quote]
