[quote=Anonymous]A few years back we had administration one talk to our ES about compact math and how it was going from one small class to now between 60-75% and how could it be the same class.

The lady said it wasn’t fair that so many kids of color were being left out of advanced classes and that it trickled down to ES. So the goal was that in 5 years, every 6th grader would take IM.

I think they already phased out math 7 completely, right?  So stupid. Not everyone is cut out for math, no matter what their color.

But to say we are offering it to 40-50% of each grade now, but are not making curriculum changes is BS. Something has to give. If you are lowering the level of math knowledge in these classes you are either grading too easy, going to slow, or skipping over content.

This is why midterms and finals need to be brought back. MCPS gets rid of them because 50-70% were failing them. Now all of a sudden we can increase kids in accelerated classes now. Make it more diverse.

Such a scam this district is [/quote]
