[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, some kids are being held back in comparison to before. I've got a current 5th grader finishing up grade 7 math. Still taking IM next year at a magnet.[/quote] You are right. The math advanced kids in non-2.0 track are in Algebra in 6th. Under compacted, the math advanced kids will take Algebra in 7th. [/quote] [b]But Algebra I will be more rigorous than it was in the past.[/b] [/quote] BS. Someone has been drinking too much of the MCPS Kool-Aid. Has anyone seen the new curriculum for Algebra? By what measurement will MCPS use to determine if the new Algebra is more rigorous than the old? And what is the county doing about the large number of kids failing the high school level math exams (Algebra is one of them) when they are supposedly otherwise passing the class? At some point the county should stop trying to reinvent the wheel and go with a well developed and tested program.[/quote]
