[quote=Anonymous]Acceleration in elementary school years when children have mastered a concept is entirely different than high school kids burning themselves out taking too many APs. ES kids get bored fast if they need to repeat things that they understood and did years earlier. It is hard enough for them to stay in their seats, not talk, and not run around. You add boredom into this and all it teaches them is that school is not important.

I think pathways and math acceleration is very important from a whole person standpoint. Kids should be learning how to love to learn not just fill out worksheets doing things they already know. They are missing important opportunities to understand that sometimes something is challenging and how you overcome this challenge in positive ways. I think that public schools should be assessed on how many levels a child grows over the course of the academic year compared to their baseline at the beginning of the year.

Ironically, MCPS doesn't seem to have a problem with reading groups. Its seems OK that kids read at different levels. Why can't they recognize that some kids also develop math skills at different levels?[/quote]
