Hi Kriston,

The deeper course can possibly apply to students who are ahead, regardless of grade/level. Presumably it will not be 4 students. More likely the top 7th & 8th grade students. It's yet to be seen how it will be implemented, but this year DS had 2 math periods, one with 7th graders and one in Algebra. The 4 7th graders worked together in both. It would not be my choice for him to double up again (i.e. 8th grade math and Explorations) because he misses other cool electives (writing workshop). Maybe I need clarification on this because I'm just thinking it out as I write this (I was caught off guard at the IEP, expecting some plan for Algebra 2).
