[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The newest rumor is that no child will be offered Compacted 4/5. I think this is also the theory for the rumors around no AIM for next year.

At this point, at least we know they are all rumors, but it does sound like they are based on true conversations. It will be interesting to see how it all works out.[/quote]

There is currently a Math Recovery Plan under development. I do not know about compacted 4/5, but MCPS curriculum office is absolutely having discussions that include not offering AIM 6 (and not offering a pathway to Geometry in 8th grade). At some schools (lookin' at you E. Brooke Lee) this was announced prematurely to parents. We were told even kids coming from compacted math would be on a pathway for algebra in 8th grade. Kids could double up math Freshman year of high school (geometry and Algebra II together) to get back on the "advanced" math path. That letter from the curriculum office is interesting. They are basically telling everyone to get ready for some changes in the math pathway.[/quote]

Are they shifting the whole philosophy of Math instruction in MCPS to realign with the rest of the country - Algebra in 9th?[/quote]

I think it's more of a one size fits all approach to education. Where the brightest must not go any faster than the slowest. This helps foster equity and closes the achievement gap.[/quote]

I thought learning has been accelerated under DL, no? No distractions and what not. I'd think that MCPS should be ready to step on the gas next year.[/quote]

No, its been slowed down and parents complained too much screen time and too much schoolwork.[/quote]
