[quote=Anonymous][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] Compacted math gets you to AP Calculus A/B in 11th grade. How much more ahead do you think the general highly-gifted/highly-achieving kid should be?[/quote] I'm guessing the PP thinks "as far as the kid can go that he can handle". Such kids are *rare*. Pre 2.0, too many kids were allowed to skip too far ahead and shouldn't have been. They ended up having weak math foundations. There were threads on this forum about it as well an article I read a while ago.[/quote]
