Hello,
I am expecting a phone call today from the math coordinator, to discuss giving my 6th grade DS10 the assessment test for accelerated 7/8 math, right now. This will determine if he should be placed in the accel 7/8 math next year, or if he's ready for 9th grade Algebra I.
Last time I spoke to the coordinator he expressed concern about a child who advances to next level too soon, having learning "gaps". Missing info that should have been learned earlier.
My son learns SUPER fast. Math has always been at a far slower pace than he needs. How should I respond to the learning gap concern? How do I know if accel 7/8 is at a good pace for him, or if THAT will be too slow? What should I request?
