[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Many posters are unaware of the dramatic changes that MCPS implemented for selecting kids to be in compacted math this year. It is much, much less available than previous years.[/quote]

That's true, and probably the right choice in general (not just due to pandemic). But MCPS has set a goal of getting (almost) every kid to Algebra I by 8th grade. You can't do that if you are pulling 1/3 of the kids off the grade-level math track. That's why I think PP amended their response. It's not "remedial" math, it's just grade level math that may be going slower.

It is interesting, though, that PP seems to be claiming that Compacted Math is no longer being taught separately from grade-level math. Are they all in the same room? Is that the new model? [/quote]

I think I’m the PP.  Sorry, I was obviously not clear!

The kids are divided up and each of the three groups has a separate teacher.  The CES kids are also grouped with neighborhood kids for Math at our CES.  So they are not in the same room.[/quote]
