[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point of taking algebra on 8th grade is you haven't really mastered the fundamentals that will allow you to understand it? I see a lot of acceleration that results in students taking remedial math when they get to college.[/quote] Agree. What I can't stand about certain DCPS schools is that they equate accelerated with excellence. Taking 'advanced' classes isn't always developmentally appropriate and doesn't mean the educational quality is great. There are many kids pushed into algebra too early who don't really understand what they are doing and then have difficulty later on. [/quote] I would say this practice is actually more prevalent in MCPS than DCPS. Look at MCPS's fail rates in their algebra classes. Curriculum 2.0 seeks to slow down math acceleration and many parents are up in arms about it.[/quote]
