[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's please get back to the fact that it is OUTRAGEOUS to ask kids to choose between advanced math and a foreign language. Both are important for college readiness and college admissions, because they set you up for more challenging work in HS. No college is going to care whether you took Music/PE/Art in middle school, especially since the offerings in public school are far subpar to sports, music, and art that the vast majority of college-bound kids participate in outside of school anyhow. [/quote] I agree. I would push on this and ask for a name in DCPS to reach out to if it can’t be resolved at the school level. It’s crazy that they’re making people choose between math and foreign language. It’s also bizarre that this kid was not identified for accelerated math in 6th grade so he could take math 8 during the summer; this is what most kids taking algebra 1 in 7th do. What changed between end of 6th and beginning of 7th?[/quote]
