[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I honestly don't think it's about race (I'm Asian). I think it's more about the fact that 1. lots of parents complaining about the way they assess for it, and 2. as 2.0 curriculum gets more mature, they have a better understanding of the type of kid who would benefit from more advanced math.[/quote] Compacted math gets kids to calculus in 11th grade. Not that many kids need to be on that path. Maybe I am too pessimistic but in middle school at some schools all kids are in "advanced english". I am sorry, if everyone is in the class it is not "advanced". My kid that is reading at 11th grade level is not going to get proper instruction in a class with kids at 3rd grade level. That is not a good situation for anyone. [/quote] Your kid has presumably been in classes with kids who are behind all along. If she's reading at an 11th grade level, then I think it's safe to assume that the school has met her needs. [/quote]
