[quote=Anonymous]Can anyone shed light on the new accelerated math program?

When my oldest (now in 5th) started, they were pacing advanced math at about 1.5x the speed of GedEd. So they are on-pace to be taking Algebra by 7th grade. I thought that was how it always worked.

However, my youngest was meant to be in advanced math (as a Level II kid in 3rd grade) this year, but they didn't do any pullouts for her and she's on pace with the rest of her gen-ed class. Her teachers told me that they weren't doing math pullouts anymore, and she'd get "differentiated instruction" in her normal classroom (which amounted to extra worksheets and literally nothing more.)

Next year she'll be in full-time Level IV, but the AART teacher tells me that class didn't accelerate math last year either. Supposedly they'll start accelerating this year and my kid will still end up a year ahead by the end of 6th. Is that true? Is that the new plan?

Both my kids are in the same base school, not a center. I was told by the AART that transferring to the center would not change the math pacing for youngest, as all schools are doing the same reset this year. I'm guessing because of the new curriculum they introduced this year?

In all honesty, the AART teacher has been hard to work with and unhelpful, so I am not even sure she's giving me the full picture. [/quote]
