[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many school systems gatekeep a bit too much for advanced math. In FCPS, there are a lot of kids who would be quite capable of 6th grade Algebra, but made one or two careless mistakes on a test taken in 2nd grade, and thus don't meet the CogAT cutoff. Iready is given every year and has a very high ceiling. FCPS should be looking into acceleration options for the kids who are far into the 99th percentile. [b]Many of these kids spend all of their early and mid ES years learning nothing at all in their school math class.[/b] [/quote] Keeping equity bs aside, can you imagine the progress FCPS would be making on math excellence front if thousands of students were taught the next level instead?
