[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course the regional model isn't about advanced academics. That's not rocket science. But I also don't think it's about the conspiracy theory you present here. And it doesn't matter frankly what we think--it's pretty obvious that MCPS is going to move forward with this bad plan no matter what the impact is.[/quote]

Reading this and the other thread about dismantling the MS magnet makes me wonder: the latter might likely be just another step to push the regional model to the MS level as they can't figure out plans for regional MS magnets under the name of "academic excellence", so let's just destroy every existing acceleration avenue at MS level.

All of these are just to push more segregation and inequity. The wealthy and/or resourceful family will still accelerate and enrich their children with outside-classroom resources. The poor and family-in-the-unknown realm will be left further behind from ES level and it will be too late to try to catch at HS level. [/quote]

I agree. It will matter more than ever what your home school is.[/quote]

Yeah, I have a recollection from a couple years ago that San Fran tried to implement Algebra 1 only available starting in 9th grade to be equitable. Until they realized that if they did that, the parents with resources would get instruction outside of school. So San Fran dropped that proposal.

Waiting for MCPS to have that revelation...[/quote]

Algebra at 9th is way behind most countries in this world. [/quote]

What does this have to do with MCPS? They are saying every school should offer at least up to Calculus BC so it looks like they are expecting some kids at every school to come into high school with Algebra 1[/quote]

Just commenting on the San Francisco equity policy. If most school districts try the same for the sake of equity, US will be the dumbest country in the world.

Okay? This is a thread about MCPS's regional program proposal.[/quote]

Okay? This is a free forum and I’m commenting on the PP’s post. Are you policing what can be said and what can not be said here?

[/quote]

You can say whatever you want and I can point out it is off topic. Do you have a problem with me pointing that out? Sounds like you are the one doing the policing.[/quote]

It’s not off topic as MCPS does the same of reducing the number of students for compact math and slowing down their math learning for the sake of equity. 
[/quote]

They also don't provide advanced math at most schools, so part of slowing it down is because there are not enough classes to graduate.  Its also seperate but "equal" without being equal as the W schools and BCC and a select few have advanced classes while the other school only have the absolute minimum.[/quote]

What specific classes are you talking about? Do some schools not have Calculus BC? Is this just about multivariable calculus?

On a side note, if a student takes MVC in high school do they have to retake it in college since there's no AP MVC?[/quote]
