[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, so, Algebra 1 in 8th grade used to be the norm. And, under C2.0, Algebra 1 in 8th grade will continue to be the norm. How does this show that C2.0 is dumbed down? And "eliminating upper level instruction" by taking away the option for Algebra 1 in 6th grade (since there is still the option for Algebra 1 in 7th grade) has zero effect on the achievement gap measure "percent of students completing Algebra 1 by 8th grade with at least a C" anyway.[/quote] The number of kids permitted to take Algebra I in 7th grade will be far fewer than before -- MCPS officials have publicly acknowledged this. There are many different gaps to measure. You are right that the Algebra at 8th grade gap might not be affected, but there is also a gap in high school between those who take more APs and more advanced math and those who don't. [/quote]
