Let the cheating commence

so what? the only consequence is the kid would fail math in middle school. it won't bother anyone else. I don't feel safe sending my kid to school just for a test.

Seriously? I'm sure you were squawking about needing to get your kid into AAP a few years ago because too much time was spend teaching to the bottom or middle. If you can't see how cheating on this test and a kid being placed in Algebra 1 honors as a 7th grader hurts the individual, the class, and the teacher, then I don't know what to tell you. If you don't feel safe sending your kid to school for just a test, don't. Problem solved.

We are new to FCPS. Do 5th grade Advanced Math (AAP Math) kids also take the IOWA test?

Only 5th graders who go to the 6th grade class for math.

So yes? 5th graders who do advanced math (AAP math) are doing 6th grade math.

No. Only kids in 6th grade advanced math(AAP math) who are doing 7th grade math take the IAAT. Some 5th graders join the 6th grade AAP class for math and are also doing 7th grade math. Those kids would take IAAT. Kids taking 5th grade AAP math would not.

Thank you!

I am a 6th Grade AAP teacher and we have been discussing it lately. We have a tentative window (Jan 11-20), which could easily be moved. I just learned that the test HAS to be done in person. If the COVID numbers are not good, it could be moved to February/March - or canceled altogether.

With FCPS It is given to 6th grade students in advanced math. So if there are any 6th grade GenEd students participating in advanced math, they would also take the IAAT.

I have a 6th grade child in AAP.

PP (teacher) again, if the IAAT doesn't happen then the county will let us know what the back-up plan is (teacher recommendation, SOL score, etc.)

Could you get 7th grade algebra placement without the Iowa?

I have a 6th grade child in AAP.

Thanks so much. This is very helpful.
