Do not listen to this poster. Accelerated math classes move quicker and teach concepts at the highest level the first time thus allowing for less practice and repetition of skill. Not everyone does Math at this speed and it is not required. Encourage your child to take math and their speed and be sure they get a solid foundation. That’s what matters. Later in life no one will care if they took Math6 vs Math 6+ vs Math x.

Ask yourself. Is this response kind? If it's not kind, is it at least helpful? If it is neither kind nor helpful, why post?

DCUM may be a toxic cesspool, but it's our toxic cesspool!

Grades, MAP scores, ES school teacher feedback.
