[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who knew I would start such a controversy by saying I asked to place my kid lol. I asked the same question this summer (asking if I should request placement and nearly everyone on that post agreed I should!). Different crowd I guess lol. For what its worth, my kid does want to go into the hard sciences (and has since he was 3). He also took an intro to pre algebra virtual class this summer to prep himself. Hopefully he is not dooming the class and bringing them all down! [/quote] I am anti-acceleration but don’t fault individual parents one bit. APS has set up this system which allows you to do it and creates a sense that you should do it or your child is missing out on some advantage and also that s/he will be left behind with kids who aren’t good at math. It’s such a bad system, but you absolutely should fight for what’s best for your kid within the system we are stuck with.[/quote]
