And, this is the first time I've seen this also, so that's why I'm asking. My other child is in 6th grade and they have math competition (via a team) but the 6th grader didn't have CML in 2nd grade. I'm trying to understand if it's a FCPS thing that got instituted this year or something across the county, but it sounds like that is not the case. But every 2nd grader at Haycock is taking the CML this year and I'm starting to wonder why.
That's strange. Why would Haycock or some of the other schools that people mentioned take it and not all 2nd graders across FCPS? Is this something that the school determines? We are in an elementary school in Vienna and the 2nd graders aren't taking this. Seems strange to be random about something like that, I think.

I could see giving it to the Level II kids, in my kids class the Level II kids get different worksheets and packets for their math and that is all. DS isn't even aware that he is getting different work. They could easily give the worksheet to kids in level II and no one would know. I don't see a reason to give a worksheet that is beyond most kids ability to everyone, that doesn't help a kids confidence.
