[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problems with overacceleration were not that kids didn't do well when tested on what they learned in 5th grade. The problems that I heard expressed were from high school math teachers who had to learn to handle kids who had gaps in their learning from skipping things, or who could do the problems, but didn't fully understand what they were doing.[/quote] That's still anecdotal and possibly one arrogant HS teacher with an axe to grind. Anyway, I'd like someone to produce any evidence that this isn't still happening. The secondary math class re-writes under 2.0 are awful. I have to believe they are producing just as many students with major gaps in understanding. If someone has data that proves otherwise I'd like to hear it. Or even just anecdotes from HS science teachers who have noticed better quality students. Algebra was re-written three years ago, some of those students are in HS now (including my DS). [/quote]
