[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 4th grader in the E3 pilot, I am more concerned with my child learning the same math skills generally as the peers he'll be going to middle school with. If E3 continues in 5th and 6th, is the content the same that other 5th and 6th graders in our pyramid are learning? If not, what happens when they all meet up in 7th grade - at any level - 7th General Math, Math 7 Honors, or Algebra as 7th graders. Whatever level they are, as a parent, it's a little nerve-wracking to have your child piloting a new math curriculum. Especially since we've gotten no insight into content differences between E3 and whatever everyone else is doing is called. I guess we'll see how the pilot kids do on the SOL . . .

You concerns are valid. Thats why these schools were chosen. I suspect that the next 10 schools of the pilot will be part of the existing middle school pyramids, so that there isnt any peer discrepancies. Or not many. [/quote]

Yes and no - our base is one of these schools and this is a large part of why we opted to go to the AAP center instead of staying at the base. Our base could not even say which math SOL would be offered to those students in 6th grade. That then means different options in middle school so there will be peer discrepancies, just perhaps not amongst the students who stay at the base school and have reduced opportunities.[/quote]
