[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a petition? Terrible idea. Fluency is not strong enough in younger grades. Work on that instead. [/quote] It's not just an idea; it is happening I believe as of 2027-2028. -NP[/quote] You are correct that it is a policy that passed and so it's currently on the books that schools will have to start offering the 60 minutes a day or 300 minutes a week of math in grades K-8 starting in 2027-2028 (the year after next, so when this year's 4th, 5th, and 6th graders are in middle school, and then for all grades below that as well.). But I don't think that means there's no chance of reversing it. It's a huge change that got very little attention, is unproven and novel, and has major negative consequences. I think it's worth someone starting a petition to MSDE as well as parents making efforts to press MCPS to lobby MSDE to roll it back. [/quote]
