Good points. So, would subject acceleration be an option? Especially in math as your DD has been complaining and losing interest in school.
So, did she have to obtain above 90% on those subjects in the grade she would be skipped into?
What were her scores in the other subjects?
She had a 98 in math, 98 in LA, and 93 in science. The principal says the district policy forbids subject acceleration, which I think is unreasonable. I do not see how they can differentiate all of this for her. However, I have heard rumors of other students working above grade level in other schools, so I am guessing that they are bending the rules for them.
The state requires them to accelerate if the student passes ALL 4 tests with a 90%. My understanding is that the district will NOT consider any other criteria, which seems like the lazy way out. It's just easier to do nothing...
My gut feeling is that I will have to go above the principal to achieve any kind of acceleration. I think she will just offer me differentiation.
