[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they decide who goes to Functions? How DC is currently in H Geometry but their MAP was 315+[/quote]
If your child is in TPMS the teacher will make the recommendation. Otherwise they will evaluate during factoring camp at the beginning of the summer. Even if your child is not recommended they can ask to be put in Functions or if they are put in Functions they can ask to not be in it.

There is some flexibility the first few weeks. One of DC's friends asked not to be in Functions on the first day even though they were recommended for it and later a high number of other classmates dropped out during the trial period. If you don't hit a certain grade on the assessments by a certain time you are automatically dropped. You don't have a choice at that point.[/quote]

What is factoring camp? This is the first I've heard of summer requirements for the magnet. Is there any more information to be had on this? We're doing summer planning now and I'd love to know if my kid has school requirements. [/quote]
It's not required. They have not held it some years due to space. Your child can skip it and it won't impact anything but it's nice to get a preview of the teachers and the style of problems.[/quote]
