Because it is title 1. Your accelerated class is a normal schools basic

I'm sorry that you feel the need to lift yourself and your decision to live in a specific area by attempting to tear others down...and doing it anonymously, which is SO typical of quite a few in this area.

I'll let you believe what you want...because I stopped playing the game of trying to explain our children's actual experience in their classrooms to people like you.

Takoma Park ES does offer some enrichment.

Only enrichment in TP is the clueless middle class kids who continue to leave there bikes unlocked on the play field behind the recenter.

What is that assertion based on?

They are title 1 because the needs and test scores are so low. This is called common sense.

This.

What have you been doing for your kid up to now? Keep it up. Play math games at home. Introduce new concepts, etc. We do Kumon workbooks at home for the next grade level.

Rest assured, PP that there are lots of people who agree with you. I did not vote for Trump but if he is able to address/control illegal immigration, I will be happy about it.

I am also a legal immigrant and know what it is like to go through the long process. If people support immigration (as I do), they need to fight to have the laws loosen instead of fighting to support illegal immigration.

And again, NOT about race. I don't care what color the immigrants are. If they are here legally, they are welcomed and should be supported.

Find out if your school as math focus teachers. In some schools, these teachers will pull groups who are accelerated but typically they are pulling kids who are behind. Sometimes they will do both. Call your kids' school and ask.

Sure k-2 doesn't move that fast- that's because they are so young. Acceleration will come- stop trying to rush it for your kids.

Btw, I have an advanced 3rd grader who complains about being bored. Super high map-m scores and all. That's okay. He's fine!

YOU'RE fine, but if HE's bored, he won't have a good memory of school, or of parent or teacher supporting his thirst for learning. What are you doing to help your kid, lazy PP?
You think kids can only be interested in sports and video games?
That academic subjects are the preserve of the older kids, or the nerds/geeks?

How wrong you are.
