[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a large ES and I'd say that easily a third of our students could work at a faster pace in k-3 math than the county provides.  much faster.[/quote]

So now we're not talking about kids who "get math"; we're talking about kids who are just regular smart kids, since I think it's unlikely that a third of kids, even in the most academic parts of Montgomery County, are naturally exceptionally talented at math.

[b]And here's the thing:  MCPS has already tried math acceleration for just regular smart kids in lower elementary school, and decided that it didn't work.[/[/b]quote] They decided it didn't work to the extreme they were allowing - there is a lot of room between NO accleration and what they had before and considered to be too much acceleration.[/quote]

cleaning up the last post...
