[quote=Anonymous]Our kids' school has finessed some solution that does not involve the kids in compacted math being bussed to the middle school - which seems perfectly reasonable to me as the parent of a non-compacted math kid. However, what I strongly resent is that it has created wildly imbalanced class sizes for the "regular" math - more than 30 kids, although there is an assistant and someone else to help with "centers." No one announced this BTW - I only heard about it from other parents just recently.

My bigger problem is that my child's math teacher iterally NEVER assigns homework and we almost never see graded classwork. We have our child in regular tutoring sessions due to previous math struggles so we have another source of information on capabilities and learning, but as far as MCPS goes, I have zero evidence that my child is learning anything in math.

BTW I'm not a 2.0 hysteric; I'm mostly pro-MCPS. But boy, when your child gets a teacher who is phoning it in, it shows. And when the county games its own curriculum to please the tiger moms and dumps all the "regular" kids in a situation where no learning appears to be taking place, it's really obnoxious.[/quote]
