Thanks for your comments. So is this something coming online for people just now, or are there districts out there a year into this? I'd love to hear what it looks like in practice.
If that's true, I can't imagine that if your daughter is ready for pre-algebra they wouldn't just give her the core curriculum pre-algebra program. But the district next door did away with accelerated math for GT because the new standards would take care of the need and because kids weren't getting as full an understanding of math when they were accelerated (according to some stats they dragged out)
So, that's one of the points I worry they'll bring out against DD retaining her acceleration. She didn't do super well on the state tests last year (passed, but not by a mile). I had already had written into her educational plan for this year to work on DD's test taking skills, knowing that most of the issue was test taking. I did that before I had her state test scores.
And there are rumors coming from a school staff member (via a friend who I trust for accuracy) is that they will eliminate the gifted sequence. DD is already through it. DS will be in dire need of it when he hits 4th grade math.
