[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It stands to reason that MCPS would want a full 4/5 class in each school.  If less than a full class, then the school would be using the resource (a teacher) on just a few kids.  That won't fly in MCPS.  I would think that might mean that schools would have either a full 4/5 class or maybe no 4/5 class.  I just can't imagine MCPS allowing a math teacher to teach, say, 5 or 6 kids this advanced math while the rest of the kids all crowd into another math class.[/quote]

The letter mentioned that the method of delivering the 4/5 class would depend on how many students expressed interest, but some options mentioned were -- going to local middle school or another elementary school, delivering via distance learning with other students, etc.

So, I don't think it's necessarily the case that schools will push to have full 4/5 classes even when not enough kids qualified to make a full class.

I was a little surprised, because my child needs the acceleration, but I can't imagine DC doing well if the instruction is delivered via online distance learning at this age.  [/quote]
