[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some students are getting to Alg I too quickly and don't have the necessary background and number sense to be successful. There is a reason many of us didn't take Algebra I until 8th or 9th grade. When MCPS tried to slow things down, parents complain. When kids aren't placed in the highest courses, parents complain. When the content gets difficult parents complain. [/quote] This. The sample problem in discussion is probably originated from a calling for "problem solving" approach, and relevance to "daily life", which were not required for Algebra twenty years ago. Good or bad I am not sure, but as the society (or the education system) as a whole bought this argument, we cannot complain about test writers simply following the guideline. [/quote]
