[quote=Anonymous]It is this curricular philosophy, or the implementation thereof, that explains why many of our kids will never gain the prerequisites or confidence for higher maths and physics in high school.  The ball game is over, and phobia for maths and physics well entrenched, before these children even hit middle school.  In high school, they do not want to have to work at math or physics or possibly threaten the inflated GPAs needed to get into colleges of their picking.  A viscious cycle.   It is no surprise by high school, the only American kids in maths and physics, (science) predominantly bear immigrant phenotype.  These are the same American children overwhelmingly winning all the regional, national and international math, science, engineering and computer science prizes (e.g., Davidson Fellows, USAMO, IMO, Intel, Siemens, AP scholars and perfect SAT/ACT).  These American kids and their parents are not sucked into the ennui of straight As, or curriculum 2.0 and their MCPS teachers.  They recognize this is a very low bar for demands of the 21st century.[/quote]
