I have similar questions. Our school is considering creating an accelerated math class starting in 3rd grade, but even after a lot of advocacy, I'm uncertain about whether it will actually happen for the coming year. So I have a meeting set up with the principal for next week and I am thinking of requesting that my twins go to a higher grade for math class every day. The problem is that I've been told that each grade has math class at a different time - the schedules are not aligned (currently). For those of you who have been in this situation, what did your child do when back in his/her regular classroom during the time slot for the base grade math class? I would like to have some suggestions in place. I hate to have them miss something else in their regular class but after three years of watching them learn next to nothing in math at school, we are desperate.
