[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 4th grader, over half of his entire class are in CM4/5 math which puts them in IM7 by 6th grade. Now my older son's class, almost the entire 95+ kids were recommended for IM7 even if they did not take CM in 4th & 5th grade. MCPS needs to focus on put each child on the right path for their individual ability!!![/quote]

IM in 7th is now standard; see link in above post. [/quote]

I took her post as recommending everyone in IM7 in 6th grade, even if they didn't take compact math. Our school is starting to do the same. Compact math used to be for a small group of kids. Now 70% are in it and 85% are being recommended for IM in 6th. Ridiculous.

They are heading that way. MCPS dumbs down curriculum so everyone can joins hands together. God forbid if the lower math levels look too dark skin. We can't have that.  :roll:

I miss track math classes. Kids as young as grade 1 were tracked. They could be in Math 2, Math 1 accelerated, Math 1, or Math 1 with review. Four different options for one grade. Now we are streamlining kids. It is just terrible. [/quote]
