This is completely untrue but she has some kind of mental illness and she is also racist so she takes time out of her day every month to post misinformation.

Many schools, including the Silver Spring elementary my child attended, will allow on kids on a case by a case basis to to up a level in math. Other schools including many in Potomac, Bethesda and Chevy Chase will not allow acceleration under any circumstances and will not even entertain conversations with parents about it.

Cold Spring is unusual because it has allowed more kids to accelerate than many others but that school has been the highest performing elementary according to MCPS in recent years so it makes sense to me that there would be more high performing kids.

Dcc parent. Our kids skip aim. It is offered.

That's odd since it's not offered at our DCC MS and nobody seems to be able to name any MS other than Frost.

They have been named multiple times. It is not at all schools.

Sorry that's not true. Nobody's named any place other than Frost.

Yes, they have. They put a list online and there are other schools as well.

LOL if that list ever was true it was 20+ years ago. None of those schools with the exception of Frost offers Algebra II.

Ok, then how is it my child is on this track and we are not at Frost or TPMS?

Let me guess, they're on this track but you can't name the school because it's in a fictional universe.

Even if you don't jump a year ahead in school, you can study at home, get ahead at home, and review next year at school. You can take summer geometry or double up one year in high school.

Or you can use that time to study something else instead of extra math, make yourself stand out that way, and avoid being a "cookie cutter" kid.

Why do all of that hard work when it’s easier to be a professional victim and complain that life is unfair?

Yes, we should refer to the crazy poster as Meghan Markle of Algebra. They share a lot in common.

I don't get why she's so determined to keep it a secret that this is only offered at a few wealthy schools.

No dear, you’re the Meghan Markle of Algebra. Now, own it and make it a badge of honor. Somewhere there’s book and a Netflix series waiting for you. I can even picture the trailer: “A kid’s life is ruined forever when the wealthy scheme to deny him Algebra in 6th grade. Follow his mom on a quest for what’s right, and teach the rich a lesson (definitely not in Algebra).” It’s practically comedy writing itself. I suggest you also get a red clown wig.

In Privilegeville, an elementary school named Exalted Heights stood as a symbol of exclusivity and elitism. Within its walls, accelerated courses like algebra were offered exclusively to the privileged few. The proponents of this system argued fiercely, claiming that only the intellectually superior deserved access to such advanced subjects. They viewed their children as inherently superior and believed in nurturing their talents while disregarding the rest.

The privileged parents reveled in their children's accomplishments, flaunting their genius as a mark of their superiority. They regarded the education tailored to their children's exceptional abilities as a birthright, while ordinary children were left behind. The calls for equal opportunities fell on deaf ears as the shrill voices of privilege drowned out the pleas for fairness.

But as the town reveled in its exclusivity, the wider society suffered. The unfairness of denying equal educational opportunities to all became glaringly apparent. The potential of countless children, brimming with talent, remained untapped and unrealized. The societal fabric was torn asunder as the gaps between the privileged and the rest of society widened, breeding discontent and resentment.

Ultimately, the legacy of Privilegeville was one of a divided society, marked by profound inequality and lost potential. The shortsightedness and selfishness of the privileged few had cast a shadow over the entire community. The absence of equal access to education has deprived countless individuals of the chance to contribute their talents and ideas to the betterment of society.

The tale of Exalted Heights serves as a stark reminder that a society that values and nurtures the potential of all its members stands to gain immeasurably. Denying equal opportunities based on privilege and elitism not only stifles the growth of individuals but also hampers the progress of society as a whole. It is a cautionary tale of the dire consequences that arise when selfishness and unfairness reign supreme, leaving scars that may take generations to heal.

Love it!

My favorite post of the week! Nevertheless, surprised MCPS lets this kind of thing go on with its focus on equity.

That is precisely why these posters are so desperate to keep this on the down low.

If McKnight’s Central Office equity crusaders get this in their sights, they can kiss this goodbye.

FFS, why can’t you believe the VIDEO evidence that TPMS does? If not all the other schools mentioned.

I don't personally doubt that magnets are forced to offer this to accommodate the kids from places like Cold Spring that offer AIM in 5th, but aside from that the only other school that has been identified is Frost. That list is either made up or from 20 years ago.

The list isn't made up and some of our kids just skip AIM. Not a big deal. What is all the drama about it? Other schools not on that list offer it. Why do you need to know the schools? So you can track down our kids and harass them?

You can’t argue with stupid, the list has been published here, many parents said their kids do take algebra in 6th at high farms schools, etc. Fighting for justice through making algebra available to all 6th graders is part of her identity now.

Just for laughs I’m hoping she will take her fight to the school board. That’d be fun to watch.

Exactly. If the school doesn't offer Algebra 2, the kids take it at the high school.

True, and I don't even see that it's a real problem since only one or two schools even offer Algebra to 6th graders.

Petitioning the central office and making a big fuss is a brilliant idea. I think you should do it for the sake of the kids that don’t have access to algebra at their school. Think at all that wasted potential! It’s in your power to change our society for the better. They may not know your name, but cohorts of kids will flourish thanks to your efforts!

Dear mentally ill mom who keeps complaining about "wealthy Potomac" schools, Tell us about your child. Your child must be at least in high school by now. How has he suffered from not being able to jump a grade in math? You've been posting the same ridiculous information for years and confusing people.

Sure. we know the anonymous list that someone posted was made up by someone, and yes some kids at Frost skip AIM. Nobody has listed another school where that happens.

They are afraid these special opportunities only offered at a few wealthy schools will get axed.

Why do you care so much, OP. You know the truth, that Algebra 2 is offered at TPMS and that exceptional kids at a variety of schools have the opportunity to get on that track (but will often end up taking Algebra 2 at a local HS).

If you know the truth, why are you so invested in whether some random troll continues to fight with you about it?

[Anonymous]

Not OP, but the random troll jumps in on all threads even tangentially related and the underlying accusations are really racist. I really think she should be banned for repeatedly spreading misinformation.

[Anonymous]

Anyone who has a kid in the Blair magnet can probably name the schools where kids were able to skip AIM. There are really a lot of them in MCPS all over the county and that's the truth.

It sounds like the troll who is fixated on Frost does not have a kid who made it to the magnet.

Yes, misleading the pro-privilege trolls keep by insisting these courses are offered at more than one or two schools when it's been demonstrably shown they aren't.
