[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents really should not fret too much about this. The goal of MCPS is to have the majority of students complete Algebra I by the end of 8th grade unless they have special learning needs that require them to be on a slower path. If a school puts a child in a math group that is too easy for them, most good schools will just bump them up. [/quote] +1 [b]I think it's a "pride" thing.[/b] I have one DC on track for Algebra in 7th (DC was in compacted math). My other DC probably won't make it to compacted math, and part of me wishes this DC does make it but that's just about my "pride". But, the rational part of me thinks it would be fine (and maybe even better) for this DC to not be in CM even though this DC does fairly well in math, too (90%+ on MAP-M). Taking Calc 1 in 11th grade is nothing to sneeze at. [/quote] The bolded: +10000. That's exactly what it is. I wish we had more parents in the county that kept it real just like you did above. :-)[/quote]
