[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high schooler, who has had an IEP all his school career except this year (504), was diagnosed with dyscalculia (and severe ADHD, and a lot of other things) when he was 10. It explained a lot. We worked with him intensively on math comprehension, formula memorization and fluency techniques for problem-solving, with us and with tutors. He was able to take Algebra 2, pre-Calc, AP Calc AB and now AP Calc BC. Having dyscalculia does not preclude a normal or above-average math track, but you do need to work at it. [/quote] New poster and I have the same question. 14 year old with dyscalculia (and Autism, and severe ADHD, and depression)......and I don't give two sh--ts about a normal or above-average math track throughout HS, nor am I willing to work at it. MCPS should re-think this requirement, and don't get me started on SSL hours. Both are good concepts, but not one sized fits all. [/quote] As others have said, the math requirements are set by the state, not MCPS. I don’t know about SSL. Make sure to look for the freebies like outdoor Ed and volunteer opportunities in ESs where you can volunteer right beside your child to get hours. [/quote]
