[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The goals of MCPS are to provide a challenging education for every child in our County.  As soon as MCPS starts to stray from that objective into issues of politics (e.g., social justice) then motives, motivations, conflicts of interest (real and/or perceived rears its head).  Taking away potential pathways for our children to advance (when they have already mastered the subject content) gets away from the objectives of providing a challenging education for all our children.  This action does not save MCPS a single penny but, in a community today increasingly driven by technology, is punitive for children with increasing mastery in the language of that technology (mathematics), and does not provide these children the challenging education MCPS espouses.

MCPS needs to get back on track as far as mission and goals are concerned.  It is pure idiocy to [i]a priori[/i] declare  capable and able students in mathematics will no longer advance in a society and age increasingly dominated by technology.  In the age of reason, some centuries ago, if our educational leaders even dared declare proficient student readers of literature, religion and philosophy be held back and denied advancement...I think these educational leaders, too, would be stoned and pillored (including their short-sighted supporters).

Who does this policy change in MCPS affect the most?

Who does this policy change in MCPS benefit the most?

Who does this policy change in MCPS hurt the most?

Does MCPS save any money or resources with this policy change?

Does the MCPS policy change align with her goals of providing a challenging education (including mathematics) for all her children?[/quote]

At least this is a coherent argument.  Unlike the one having to do with "recent immigrants" which doesn't make sense on several levels.[/quote]
