[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearst used to let advanced 4th graders take math with the 5th graders and advanced 5th graders take 6th grade math with the math specialist. They stopped it last year and I don’t know if they will bring it back. It will be a shame if they don’t. [/quote]

Profoundly gifted students often need multiple grade levels of academic acceleration, not just one. For example, a profoundly gifted second grader might be ready for 6th grade math, which DCPS won't accommodate.[/quote]

Some DCPSes will. It’s a school by school decision. My 2nd grader had a PK4er in her math class during the second half of the year two years ago.[/quote]

Our school tried to do it (PK4 in 3rd grade for reading) but it was hard to make the schedules match up. And my kid (the PK4) didn't really have the attention span or maturity for it, and didn't have the ability to respond in writing. So we opted for 1:1 time with a reading specialist. I think she got more out of 15 minutes of that than she did out of 30 minutes with the 3rd grade.[/quote]
