This is from today's Eugene Weekly article about TAG corrective action orders.
"Ten years ago, when Wischnowski enrolled her son in kindergarten, she
says, her efforts to get him more challenge were met with insults and
derision. When he was TAG identified in third grade, she says, “I wanted
him to at least read books at his level.” She was told that her son
couldn’t bring books from home or the school library because they were
distracting.
Wischnowski’s son tested out of third grade math and got an A in his
new fourth grade class. When her son changed schools the following year,
he scored 98 percent on a year-end math exam but was told his new
school didn’t allow acceleration and wouldn’t recognize his completed
work from the other school (both were in 4J). Her son repeated a year of
math with double homework."
