[quote=Anonymous]I think that for most kids the school placement is fine and it will give them more time to get a good foundation. There was another poster in a different thread whose child is a math kid and in that situation I would investigate further and see whether it's actually the appropriate placement. A kid like that poster's child can learn any material in "gaps" very quickly so placement should take ability and motivation into account more. The placement tests are not rocket science. At DC's Big 3 they are designed to cover a breadth of material rather than to show critical thinking. The placement is more flexible at DC's school than just "pass" or "not pass" as it should be.[/quote]
