[quote=Anonymous][quote]A majority of kids don't truly need advanced math, and the number who would benefit from simply pushing to get through the sequence early is very small, especially now that I think math is required all 4 years of high school no matter what, meaning that's not a way to play the system and free up another period for a subject important to the student." Kids who are very math oriented are not looking to get out of taking math their senior year. Its so frustrating that MCPS sees math as a less worthy subject than language based subjects. I understand that people who get education majors avoid math and hard sciences but they need to look beyond their own limitations. We need to stop trying to turn math into a language arts course and stop believing that most people aren't capable of math. There are many students who could benefit from a more rigorous, challenging, and exciting math curriculum. [/quote]
