[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Gen-Ed students have taken compacted math in many schools for years. [/quote]

In theory, compacted math is supposed to be available for every elementary student in FCPS that qualifies.

In practice, there are many schools who have so few kids who qualify that it is difficult to make it happen. At our base school, "compacted math" was a 2 days a week pullout that didn't happen half the time because of various conflicts.[/quote]

It was like this at DC's center school - only level IV AAP received full time advanced math. I complained, and complained, and complained some more. At first I was told that GEN ED students couldn't be in the same class as level IV AAP. I couldn't understand why, since they would be in the same math in middle school if the students qualified. I also asked how they were complying with the mandate that all students have access to advanced math - that includes being on track to take the 7th grade SOL in 6th grade to qualify for algebra. DC was provided fulltime advanced services with his class (gen Ed) where they grouped the kids throughout by ability. Starting the next year, the center school grouped all the students - AAP and GEN ED together by ability. DC is in a class with mostly Level IV AAP students.  Some of the Level IV AAP students who are not strong in math are in the lower groups. [/quote]

How did you complain to get changes made? Letters? Conference?[/quote]
