[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't this be listed in the defined math sequence.  Some parents are aware of it. Some parents are not aware of it. This is completely unfair that some students have the opportunity and some don't. If such an opportunity is given, it should be accessible to all the schools and not Principal dependent.[/quote]

You hit the nail on the head with this one. Opportunities for advancement are given to some kids in some parts of the district, and not to others in other parts of the district. This is different than a language program, or the AP/IB discussion, which all of kids have the opportunity to access by applying / attending a different school. Living in part of the district where my children do NOT have this opportunity, it's very discouraging to read that my very driven math/science focussed child is never going to have the opportunities that these other kids have, unless we pay for a significant amount of summer school.

Life is not fair and if this is one of the more unfair things you have encountered in your child'a life- he is one of the lucky ones. [/quote]

PP you are just wrong here.  It is not about fair and unfair.  If the school system is allowing this then it should be available for all students.  IMO, they should stop allowing it at all and let the parents be responsible for getting their child, very advanced for grade, immersion.  [/quote]

The very same argument could be made for AAP.  If it is going to be available for some kids, it needs to be available to all.[/quote]
