[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Yes the numbers are only for kids that took Algebra after middle school so they are kids that were never strong in math to start with..combined with the fact that numerically the test is irrelevant to kids that did well. I am not too concerned.[/quote]

Why is MCPS trying to weaken the strong in elementary and middle school by eliminating pathways for seeking a challenging math curriculum?  Do they want these children, too, to fail or are they simply trying to hold them back (since these are not their own children) to close the achievement and performance gap in the County?

Very troubling.  Even if students do not study 3/4 should not fail an exam after one whole year of studying the subject and taking cumulative quizzes, tests and exams up to this point ... not in algebra or mathematics.  Why didn't the system know well ahead of time they would have &gt; 50% flunk rate?  Are MCPS math teachers that incompetent...yet we continue to give them raises in this economy?[/quote]
