[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Won't lack of funding cut non essential courses?[/quote]

No, they cut essential ones instead and send kids to Mc.  [/quote]

No they don't.  These are elective courses.  [/quote]

Schools can only offer so many classes.  So, they are trading one class for another.  We are told we have to go to MC and we have to provide transportation come junior year.  Not happening.[/quote]

The pull quote was very short and you still didn't read it. These are electives and no additional funding is provided, plus the course is dependent on enrollment.

They are not treating some hypothetical multivariable calculus class for history of the Jewish peoples. Those are separate classes taught in separate departments and almost certainly by very separate teachers.

These classes sound cool and interesting, and I'm glad there's some sort of mechanism for schools to pilot different electives based on the interests of their student bodies.

You don’t see an issue when they don’t offer classes after calc bc but offer this nonsense?[/quote]

I think these are two completely unrelated conversations. Two of the pilot courses above are being offered at Blair, which absolutely offers math above Calculus BC.

If your personal school does not, you need to take that up with your personal school rather than she**ing all over choices being made at other schools.

You can advocate at the board of education. You can run for board of education. You can become a cluster liaison for the PTA. You can get involved with the gifted and talented committee of the Montgomery County PTA.

There are so many ways to solve this problem that aren't the choice you are making.[/quote]

These are student initiated ELECTIVES and they have to find staff willing to teach the course[/quote]
