[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP story is disturbing.  Does anyone have a similar situation with 2.0 yet?  Leaving MoCo for private after algebra 2.0..  I am surprised a Big 3 would take anyone with a low math score..  I do think 2.0 is less about just the steps to get the correct answer but that doesn't mean it is a good curriculum.[/quote]

I decided to pull DC out of MCPS in part (not wholly) due to concerns about acceleration, 2.0 Algebra roll-out & impact of having a 12-year-old's Algebra grades on HS transcript. Just ridiculous! DC had to take a placement test at private (not a Big 3, but well regarded private with exmissions to Big 3). DC will need to repeat "IM" even though DC received an A in IM in our "W/BCC" feeder school.

The math is a concern, but story is even worse with English. "Advanced English" was equivalent to 4th grade English at the private.[/quote]

There are levels of "Advanced English" classes at mcps middle schools based upon MSA performance. Maybe your child was in a basic class. And isn't IM math a class for kids who didn't do very well in math 7 and need more instruction before moving on to algebra?[/quote]
