[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand who decides what is grade level vs advanced vs remedial. People make these assertions about it but is there any sort.of policy document, statute, regulation, etc., that determines it? Or are people just stating their opinions and saying "actually" to make it sound authoritative?[/quote]

Maybe remedial is another way of saying "lowest track."

It's helpful to see what the suburban districts are doing. Here is MCPS:

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/schools/high-schools/k-q/poolesvillehs/uploadedfiles/departments/math/mathpathways.pdf

you can see algebra in 9th is the lowest level offered.

FCPS also has all kids doing Algebra by 8th. so when a PP said this:

"But in DCPS that track is actually the high level track which gets you to Algebra 1 by 8th. The “regular” track in DCPS which gets you to precal in 12th is actual remedial."

It's because algebra in 9th grade is remedial by the standards of most public school jurisdictions.[/quote]
