[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]By the way, most kids are taking Algebra I in either 7th or 8th grade. The students taking it in 9th grade tend to be performing below grade level or have learning issues which may explain why their grades on the exam are often lower.[/quote] The MCPS intent though is to band everyone together. The kids who are failing Algebra 1 in high school would be taking it in 8th grade per 2.0. [b]Now, the kids that would have taken it in 6th or 7th and are great in math would be slowed down[/b] and they would also be in the same Algebra in 8th. Their high scores would balance out the increase in failing scores for students who perform lower. This doesn't help either set of students but this is MCPS. Its all about serving and propping up MCPS not educating students so if the failing scores can just be hidden, win, win![/quote] Kids who are in compacted math will take Algebra I in 7th grade.[/quote]
