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]

Schools cannot trade out core courses for elective courses.  And they can’t force a student to go to MC.  AP classes are not core courses.  Various electives are not core courses.  Core classes are those like English 10,11,12, Alg 2,etc.  So while they are trading elective classes it’s likely the ones for which there are the most interest.

Also for DE courses at NC, they provide transportation to the MC campuses.[/quote]

So, what do students do when their school does not offer math classes appropriate for them junior and senior year as they stop after calculus?   They don’t provide transportation for one class.  [/quote]

Here’s the transportation schedule to MC.

If the MCPS transportation doesn’t work, there’s Ride On or taking the course in the evening.  Alternatively, it could be done online via MC.  Another option would be an online AP course through MCPS.  https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/onlinelearning/courses/ap/

You’re right.  None of these options are as simple as changing classes within the same building.  But there are options available.[/quote]

How is that transportation helpful for one class.  You have to be there all day.  Online via MC is not possible due to the times it’s offered.  Why should kids be forced to go to Mc for a regular math class.  Makes no sense.  It’s not developmental appropriate for a 15-26 year old to be forced to do that. B[/quote]

16.  We were told to buy our kid a car and I’m not buying a kid a car and they aren’t driving age yet.  [/quote]
