[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compact math is good for "above grade level" but it really limits things for highly gifted and highly achieving kids. At some elementary schools they were allowed to go 2 and 3 years ahead in math, it is unclear if those principals are still allowing it. It does level the playing field for the schools with principals that refused to advance kids further.[/quote] One of the HGC teachers told us during orientation that, while for the vast majority of kids advanced in math compacted math is fine, if they find a kid who is just scary good at math, they will make an exception and let the kid go to MS/HS to take math. The teacher said there was at least one case in that cluster.[/quote]
