Laura! It sounds like you are talking about MY school district! CRAZY! Exactly what I am going through right NOW!
The principal said that that the Math teacher she asigned DD9 for 4th grade is so good that he can teach higher grades of math IN the 4th grade classroom and this is why she can't skip to 5th. BUT WILL HE? Just because he CAN doesn't mean he WILL and I think we have heard this before!
I don't want to take another chance here! I am thinking about meeting with the teacher for next year, before the end of this year (8 days left) and asking him specifics and getting the curriculum for 4th grade so she can start 4th in the 5th grade book.
I'll let you know how that goes! Maybe you could do the same!
AND IF I'm not happy with the answers, I'll push harder for the skip!
We have our work cut out for us!
