[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to freak out until we hear this from MCPS.

If nothing else, it doesn't make any sense. If *everyone* is having learning loss, then the kids currently in Math 5 won't be ready for Math 6 anyway.

But we know learning loss is concentrated among the kids who were struggling anyway. It's not equally distributed across the entire county. So putting kids who have finished Math 5/6 into Math 6 with kids who haven't been in school since Math 4 is just going to create more problems than it solves.[/quote]

You make so much sense, but MCPS is not making a lot of sense these days so who knows what they are planning. I will flip out if my child has to repeat Math 6 next year.[/quote]

Our middle school is calling it math6+ for those who were in compacted then they would take math 7+ and algebra in 8th.  But it looks like math 6+ is still math 6, just more in depth. Also these kids will end up being a whole year behind in math by high school.[/quote]

Math 6+ was originally presented as being *in addition to* AIM.

What do you mean that the kids would be behind, by the way? Algebra in 9th is the national norm for "on track" kids, and Algebra in 8th is the national norm for "advanced" kids. [/quote]

You must be new here.[/quote]
