[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for sharing your thoughts! PP - I agree. I think it's very odd. I've been in education for almost 20 years (not in MCPS), and I've never heard of giving kids zero preparation for the transition to middle school. At my previous school, kids were switching four times a day by this point. At the school before that, three times a day. It seems pretty logical that, if you can do something to help kids prepare...you do it. The degree to which math is being differentiated (very little) is not more useful than helping kids build the executive function skills that are so necessary to do well in middle school and high school.
