[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think all middle schools do offer Geometry in FCPS currently.

My 8th grade SON takes geometry now.  I have a daughter in 2nd grade.  So if they pull back on advanced math offerings, my DAUGHTER won't have the same opportunity to take advanced math as her other brother?  Way to hold back girls.[/quote]

[b]You do realize that it doesn't matter that you have an older son and a younger daughter? If the Advanced Math track changes for some reason, it is not because they want to deprive girls of an opportunity. It is not like boys will be allowed on the advanced math track and girls are not. [/b]

[quote]Depends if your school offers non-IB upper level courses. Some do, some don't. You can absolutely take IB year 2 as an 11th grader, but if you are a diploma candidate and it's an HL course the test must be taken your senior year. If you aren't a diploma candidate you can test any time.[/quote]

Thanks, it is just taking the test. I looked at my child's future high school and they have math beyond IB HL. I don't get why they have to wait to take the test if they are in the diploma track but such is life.[/quote]

I don't care what their intent is - I care about the impact / result.  We shouldn't want girls of all people held back in STEM.[/quote]
