Why can’t mcps embrace the kids talent and push them more in math so that they are challenged and continue to thrive. Forget about what MIGHT happen at high school level, what about NOW why can’t they be challenged now instead placed in a boring low level math class. Shouldn’t parents advocate for there children so they can learn and thrive and not develop a boredom in school for low level math classes. On a separate note, Isn’t AIM like a review of just 5 and 6 grade math?

No clue, but when I asked, I was told that my 6th grader who scored over 300 on their MAP-M was not eligible for 6th-grade algebra because they hadn't taken AIM in 5th. It wasn't offered at our school.

I feel for you. It should not be the parent's fault for not having a house in affluent school zones nor parent's fault for reluctancy in advocating for their kids, yet this kid apparently needs a leg-up. It's the system that's sick.

I guess I feel the county should provide the same opportunities to rich and poor alike.

Some "poor" schools are offering Algebra in 6th. Its the "rich" families complaining.

So Frost and Cold Spring are poor? I thought they had <5% FARMS?

Are you not comprehending that its not just the richer schools with low farms that are offering Algebra in 6th. Some high farms MS are offering it as well.

Name them.

Eastern MS

I'm guessing Eastern like TPMS will allow only kids whose wealthy ES offered AIM in 5th. In general, this just seems to be a thing for the rich schools.

I think people are pushing back because MOST of the rich schools do not allow Algebra in 6th grade. My guess is that it is not "rich" schools, it is schools with a high population of a certain demographic.

The only schools that I know of that offer this are Cold Spring and Frost which I think are in Potomac.

Just because you don't know its offered at other schools, doesn't mean its not offered. AIM is not offered at most schools but the kids just skip AIM and do Alegebra in 6th and are fine.

I’m gonna keep on posting about these other schools that aren’t Cold Spring or Frost but I’m not going to name them because reasons and I’m going to keep stomping around insisting there are other schools where this is definitely absolutely happening even though I’m the only one who knows about it.

Taking AIM is not a big deal. Skipping AIM is not a big deal. DCC offer Algebra in 6th at some schools and that's the discussion.

The only DCC schools that offer Algebra in 6th are TPMS and Eastern and they do so reluctantly and only for students who came from rich schools in Potomac who had already taken AIM in 5th.

This is absolutely not true. My child is at a different school that offers it.

Tell us the school or it isn't true. The only school that is known to do this is Frost in Potomac.

Why does everything have to be about tiger moms..why can’t a parent genuinely want the best for the child an$ have them be appropriately challenged. If this was sports related no one would yell tiger moms constantly.

Many schools like TPMS address this by providing more in-depth study.

NP, but I googled the definition of tiger parenting:
Tiger parenting is a form of strict parenting, whereby parents are highly invested in ensuring their children's success. Specifically, tiger parents push their children to attain high levels of academic achievement.

Isn’t that what you just said?

DP, so can we also call parents who push their kids in sports as tiger parents too. Or is that frowned upon in this culture?

As a tiger mom, my kid took it at a DCC school. I don't need to name my child's school.

Tell us the school or it isn't true. The only school that is known to do this is Frost in Potomac.

The only schools that offer this advancement are ones where a pride of entitled tiger parents descend on the school administrators demanding this.

Why does everything have to be about tiger moms..why can’t a parent genuinely want the best for the child an$ have them be appropriately challenged. If this was sports related no one would yell tiger moms constantly.

Many schools like TPMS address this by providing more in-depth study.

And that's why some of us don't care that our kids end up at TPMS.

Why can’t mcps embrace the kids talent and push them more in math so that they are challenged and continue to thrive. Forget about what MIGHT happen at high school level, what about NOW why can’t they be challenged now instead placed in a boring low level math class. Shouldn’t parents advocate for there children so they can learn and thrive and not develop a boredom in school for low level math classes. On a separate note, Isn’t AIM like a review of just 5 and 6 grade math?

No clue, but when I asked, I was told that my 6th grader who scored over 300 on their MAP-M was not eligible for 6th-grade algebra because they hadn't taken AIM in 5th. It wasn't offered at our school.

I feel for you. It should not be the parent's fault for not having a house in affluent school zones nor parent's fault for reluctancy in advocating for their kids, yet this kid apparently needs a leg-up. It's the system that's sick.

I guess I feel the county should provide the same opportunities to rich and poor alike.

Some "poor" schools are offering Algebra in 6th. Its the "rich" families complaining.

So Frost and Cold Spring are poor? I thought they had <5% FARMS?

Are you not comprehending that its not just the richer schools with low farms that are offering Algebra in 6th. Some high farms MS are offering it as well.

Name them.

Eastern MS

I'm guessing Eastern like TPMS will allow only kids whose wealthy ES offered AIM in 5th. In general, this just seems to be a thing for the rich schools.

I think people are pushing back because MOST of the rich schools do not allow Algebra in 6th grade. My guess is that it is not "rich" schools, it is schools with a high population of a certain demographic.

The only schools that I know of that offer this are Cold Spring and Frost which I think are in Potomac.

Just because you don't know its offered at other schools, doesn't mean its not offered. AIM is not offered at most schools but the kids just skip AIM and do Alegebra in 6th and are fine.

I’m gonna keep on posting about these other schools that aren’t Cold Spring or Frost but I’m not going to name them because reasons and I’m going to keep stomping around insisting there are other schools where this is definitely absolutely happening even though I’m the only one who knows about it.

Taking AIM is not a big deal. Skipping AIM is not a big deal. DCC offer Algebra in 6th at some schools and that's the discussion.

The only DCC schools that offer Algebra in 6th are TPMS and Eastern and they do so reluctantly and only for students who came from rich schools in Potomac who had already taken AIM in 5th.

This is absolutely not true. My child is at a different school that offers it.

As a tiger mom, my kid took it at a DCC school. I don't need to name my child's school.

If you can't name the school, it didn't happen. The only DCC schools that offer this are magnets for the kids who already took AIM at their wealthy ES in Potomac.

We are at a downcountry school and mine started in sixth. You can say all you want it did not happen but it did. It is not a school you’d choose so it’s not important which one.

The only elementary school that actually offers AIM in-house for a group of 5th graders is in an affluent community, so we can absolutely talk about how that constitutes systemic inequality since the system is enforcing greating opportunities for wealthy children.

However, lots of schools (including DCC feeders) offer the opportunity for selected children and I'm baffled as to why anyone would assume that's not true.

Except there are no DCC feeders that offer this. Please name one. The only DCC schools that offer Algebra in 6th do so to accommodate kids from Potomac who already had AIM in 5th.
