[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]Interesting. MCPS has been saying that they think kids were getting over accelerated in earlier grades leading to issues later on. The failure rates on finals for HS math up to pre-calc range from 63 to 47%. Now people are freaking out that they're removing some of the acceleration options. It seems to me that MCPS was probably right. The options they are putting in place still allow Calculus during the junior year for talented math students. Do they really need more than that? IMO, [b]math above that level should really be taught in college.[/quote] Why? [/b][/quote] Because the peer group and number of kids taking a class would be much bigger. I've also read numerous times that these college level courses that kids are taking aren't really college level. Many good colleges no longer offer college credit. Even if they do skip taking them in college they'll probably be at a disadvantage.[/quote]
