[quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain this to me?  Our kid isn't in MS yet, but my understanding is that if a course is considered to be part of the HS curriculum, then grades for that course are included in the HS transcript.  Of course, since MoCo considers all foreign language instruction to be part of the HS curriculum, then 6th grade spanish is considered a "high school" course, and part of the HS curriculum.  I assume the same thing happens to all those kids doing accelerated math.

I admit I don't know much, but this just seems stupid all around.  Does anyone really think that 6th grade Spanish I is the equivalent of 9th grade Spanish I? Put another way, if they are teaching 6th grades and 9th graders the same, then isn't there something deeply wrong in the system?  Does anyone think a college cares about how kids do in 6th grade classes?  It seems the only thing this does is cause stress for kids (and probably some parents), and maybe make some MCPS official feel better.

Could someone explain how this got started, and why it doesn't change?  Maybe even what I've missed and why it makes sense?[/quote]
