[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do know that the test has not changed since MCPS stopped offering accelerated math. By definition that means that kids are not able to be prepared for it as they could be e.g. 6 years ago. ~Parent to two TPMS magnet kids, now Blair magnet kids[/quote] That has been my experience too. Which now means that the kids who are studying outside of school are the ones who have a greater chance of getting in. I know I will be flamed for it, but there is a less and less differentiation in instruction and curriculum in MCPS now. So, acceleration that gave an edge to students is not available in school. This acceleration is now coming from studying at home, tutors, prep classes, online courses, but not from MCPS. The achievement gap will continue to widen because of this. [/quote]
