[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flaw to that arguement is that MCPS had lots of math acceleration and they were not successful with it. That is why there is a backlash now. The majority of kids (2/3s's) in my socs ES were 2 year ahead in math (heading for 7th grade algebra). The MS and HS teacher were forced to water down their classes to accomodate these advanced students who were accelerated right past the basic skills. Depsite the fact that we all think our kids need acceleration and are bored. Learning basic facts can be boring. For the few kids who are truely ready..doesn't seem like MCPS has the reasources to run a class for only a few kids...and that is a shame.[/quote] If the teacher had to water down the class to meet the needs of the accelerated students - it begs the question - were those kids actually "accelerated" or not.
