[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't consider 5th grader as being held back. Current 3rd grader has been held back in comparison to the 5th grader. [/quote]

+ 1 - My 5th grader took IM this year and will be taking Algebra in 6th grade.  My 3rd grader was accelerated in K and 1st, then repeated the same curriculum in 2nd when 2.0 is rolled out.  He has now been recommended for 4/5 math next year but this will only put him on par for Algebra by Grade 8.

Could my 3rd grade have been accelerated further if the opportunity were allowed?   Sure.  He just can't under the current system.  He isn't allowed to test to measure how accelerated he currently is.  Could he be placed higher than 4/5 grade math that they have proposed next year?  Sure if the school system would open the doors to the opportunity and test his full ability.  My child does independent math workbooks at home because he was bored with what he received at school and as a result, he is much farther ahead than what he is being taught at school.
