[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][Quote]Umm yes there is.  There are MSs that offer classes online because they don’t have staff to teach certain classes.

Which middle school is only offering Algebra I or Geometry online due to not having licensed staff?   :?: 
 Please name the school(s), for that is highly unlikely since it is [i]nearly impossible[/i] to be hired to teach middle school math unless you already hold [u]at least [/u] the Algebra endorsement.

There are definitely middle schools who offer Algebra II and/or pre-calc online, but it is [u]not[/u] because they don’t have the staff to teach it.  :roll:  Rather, it is because there are too few kids taking that class to justify an entire section for fewer than 8 students.

With the pilot Algebra I in Grade 6, there will be a greater demand for Algebra II in middle school, but there currently aren't [i]that[/i] many students taking Algebra II (or higher) in middle school.  Only a few middle schools even have a section of Algebra II at all.[/quote]

Is the PP, the one who incorrectly said there are middle schools that offer online math classes because they dont have the staff to teach them, going to respond to the above post?

You can look up the licenses of the math teachers at your child's school. If their license says "Mathematics," that covers math through high school courses. If their license says "Middle Education 6-8, Algebra endorsement), that covers them to teach through Algebra 1.[/quote]
