[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students wants it, Parents wants Financial Literacy as a graduate requirements. Student rep on the board member also made a case for financial literacy at the meeting comparing to Frederick County Schools where it is a graduation requirements. But Someone at the meeting said due to demographic differences, they compare MCPS to PG county schools not Frederick county schools. It looks like they are driving MCPS on same disastrous path of PG county schools.

So, now demographics determine what kids learn at MCPS schools? Interesting.

Those who did not watch the meeting, spend your 15 minutes to watch that segment.[/quote]

Parents want the kids to learn financial literacy but not an extra class required for graduation. In one of your prior posts, you mentioned the ones who need it the most are least likely to take it. Make it count as a math credit option so those who want to take it can.  Seriously, don’t take away the limited electives the kids already have.  Some want to take Chorus/ Drama for 4 years, some want to take shop, some want to take DP APs.  [/quote]
