MAP - RIT scores for 2nd grade Math: 216 REad: 201 Cogat: Non Verb: 128 Quantitative: 133 Verb: 124 Composite: 133 Should I still be posting on this site? I wanted him to pretest 3rd math to skip it right onto 4th. The school said NO... Last year I homeschooled him, at his request, to learn math. Thinking of this strategy AGAIN! All thoughts welcome!

The Cogat scores show that he's likely gifted. If your son is requesting math, I'd definitely give it to him. If you think the school is a bad fit because you can tell that he's bored and not learning, you have to change his environment somehow, so if you're staying with that school I think you have to advocate. Striving to increase my rate of flow, and fight forum gloopiness.

Alternative is to ask the school to group him for math with other kids who scores 215-220. They have scores for everyone, right? They know who these kids are! Sometimes it's better to put your energy into homeschooling than Advocay - sometimes not. Love and More love, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com
