Thanks for the reply Kirstenhill ! Our CBE required a 90 score (they moved it up from 80 to 90 this year) to qualify and she was 87 😞. All the best for ur DS's result. My DD is already taking 7th grade math as a 6th grader and is doing AoPS intro to algebra at home as an out of school thing so skipping 7th grade math made all the sense but the score and near miss bumped her out. She will now try to skip 8th grade math next year. If she does not skip she will go on to algebra 1 as an 8th grader, with a skip she can do geometry in 8th grade.

I am looking for advice and some support mainly. In our current school district CBE's and grade skipping seems to be the popular trend but we as a family are new to the concept. My DD ( rising 6th grader) is skilled at math and has always been ahead of her grade so naturally she asked to take the exam this year as did majority of her class. She however missed the qualifying mark by 2 points. Most of her class passed. She is feeling quite defeated. She wants to try to skip the grade again next year but I am not so sure. I feel that she is just trying to keep up with her class mates who moved ahead and if she does not qualify a second time it will do more harm to her morale. My DH however feels that a grade skip, if she is indeed ready for one will be beneficial in the long run. Is it really that advantageous to skip ahead in math ?

Looking for a writing program for my rising 3rd grader. Hoping to chose a mostly instructor led program or one with least teacher prep. Let me know which you like best and why ? I can’t seem to be able to make up my mind.

I have used Standards PM with my older 2 and I understand that it covers a few more topics when compared to US edition.Wondering how the topics covered in the new Dimensions Math compare to the Standards edition (the table on the SM website is giving me a squint eye) Can anyone who has used DM share their thoughts ?
