[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you proposing a blatantly bad practice? Make higher math "optional" and you'll quickly find that students gravitate toward whatever is easiest, and teachers have no incentive to promote "harder" courses. Maybe the brightest students with supportive parents will be the only ones who learn algebra, and go on to become the best educated - and as someone else said, this leads to more segregation. This is nothing to do with DCPS specifically. It's just a very bad idea. Real leadership in education would be doing what is best for the students and country, not finding quick fixes to other problems by dumbing down classes.[/quote] Actually, students crave challenge. What you think is bad practice might serve a broader range of students than the status quo.[/quote]
