[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I for one am very appreciative of the PP who posted the opinion appealling the CM placement decision. If it's the father himself, kudos to him. [/quote] Why? I mean, it sounds like the school district repeatedly met with him, etc. and gave him plenty of info to show his kid shouldn't be in CM. Why did he keep pursuing this?[/quote] Because the father was convinced that his kid was advanced since he could do advanced math at home. I stated previously, just because a kid can do advanced math doesn't mean he really understands it because some advanced math can be learned simply by rote. From what I can see, being in compacted 4/5 math is not the same as being able to do long division quickly, for example. Again, doing long division can be learned by rote. Under 2.0, you have to show clear understanding of certain concepts by explaining it, with words or diagrams. [/quote]
