[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even BASIS math only goes to multivariate!  So calling walls weak on math because it too only offers up to multivariate is ridiculous.  (I am not disagreeing that walls has many flaws -  but a lack of challenging math courses is not one of them).[/quote]

Walls just offers the basics for a humanities person. It’s just not competitive for stem. Removing the testing requirements and refusing to look at what courses applicants took just makes me nervous as a parent. I don’t want my kid around someone who is taking regular math and English and not trying. I want my kids around people who are intellectually curious and took the hard electives, who don’t have to worry about dual enrollment because the school doesn’t provide sufficient math and science courses. I don’t want them to attend a school where the parent community thinks math courses are “miserable”. Good for you that you’re happy. To each his own. [/quote]

There is so much privilege in this narrative and is so removed from the rest of the DC middle school experiences. Yes to each their own.[/quote]
