[quote=Anonymous]Yes, compacted math is just one year advanced and the material is not really much different (math is taught by hitting the same topics in more depth each year). However, being in the accelerated group means being with kids ready for that work. On the other hand, being in the grade level course comes with no guarantee that the other students are actually on grade level. No matter the class, what's taught is determined by the ability of the students so at some schools the difference is more dramatic than others. I knew parents who tried to ignore the "craziness" or even opted out of compacted math only to realize their kid was head and shoulders above classmates and it was then necessary to fight for a new placement. It may seem petty in third grade but by MS the dynamic is more obvious. [/quote]
