[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, the standard Math path under 2.0 eliminates Math 7 (it just goes into effect for current 4th graders). Only kids on a path to take Math 8 in 8th grade take Math 7th after the 2016-2017 school year. Go look at the website. http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/math [/quote] This whole process sounds so juvenile and silly. These are not 40 and 50 year-old turtles like the MCPS leadership. These are 8 to 13 year olds for whom there can be huge changes and growth (mental and physical). Why keep an 8-year-old or 10-year-old in a math track fixed for the next 3-7 years? Allow the few capable burgeoning kids the opportunity and pathway to change tracks if they prove their mettle (demonstrate proficiency). This happens in music and sports. And we are number 1 in the world. [/quote]
