[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with this PP.

Find a class that provides a textbook.  It made a huge difference for my kid.

My kid had gotten an A in her MCPS Algebra class but they didn’t even get through so much of the material.  It was a joke with the decreased class time.

I agree with the other PP who says that kids need a strong foundation in Algebra to move on to the other math classes.  Get your kid into a good Algebra class because MCPS is doing our kids a disservice by giving them As even when they have not mastered the material.  [/quote]

I’m the PP you responded to.  Thank you for taking the time out to post a helpful remark.

If MCPS did a great job teaching your child Algebra, I am truly happy for you.  That’s great!

Based on the MCAP Algebra results that I am seeing, there were a LOT of kids who fell through the cracks.

I was simply offering my kid’s experience - a textbook was beneficial for her and the MCPS class offered at her middle school was missing large chunks of information.

YMMV, of course.  That should go without saying.  [/quote]
