[quote=Anonymous][quote]As far as I know, the elimination of Math Pathways has to do with MCPS math teachers telling MCPS that Math Pathways was overaccelerating children.

And about the MCPS "discomfort" with the "changing complexion (demographics)" etc. etc. -- what do you mean, exactly? MCPS is changing their policies about admissions to HGC and magnet programs to reduce the proportion of Asian-Americans in these programs? What evidence do you have for this?[/quote]

When certain folk are performing well they are all of a sudden "overaccelerated".  I see you bought the smoke screen from the County.  What's your explanation this year for the declining performance and math failure rates?  Students were over retarded?  Not enough acceleration?  Boredom with the pace?    Lack of test prep?  Which is it?

I assure you the number on the honor rolls, and the number of straight As in MCPS has been steadily climbing!

MCPS is simply reeling from one stoop to another.[/quote]
