[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say the number of kids in accelerated math because the parents want them there to differentiate them is far, far greater than the number who are there because they legitimately need the acceleration. [/quote] If they had qualifying scores then they are legitimately there, parent wants are irrelevant [/quote] In MCPS acceleration in ES and MS is primarily based on parent advocacy not on test scores. [/quote] If kids don’t have the required test scores and demonstrate ability, they aren’t getting in. So the parent has to fill out forms, big deal. That could be solved with a teacher recommendation. Besides, the likelihood of a 5th grader who is capable and ready to move on to Alg I having totally uninvolved and checked-out parents is slim to none. [/quote]
