[quote=Anonymous]No that's not what's happening. Advanced students will be less likely to get acceleration, because the base classes will be sold as an accelerated pathway. If they are putting all kids into Math 8(Now essential concepts I) in 8th grade or earlier, and saying this is algebra-geometry-algebra 2 for grades 8-10, then the kids who would normally be taking algebra in 8th grade on an accelerated path will no longer be on an accelerated path. The Math 8/Essential Concepts I will in reality be a watered down class that is really prealgebra with lots of group work to help the weaker students not fail. If the school district thought the weaker kids were good enough to take algebra in 8th grade, they would have allowed it. Beyond that, these are still watered down classes, so less advanced. [/quote]
