[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think FCPS lacks real knowledge here.  Taking algebra in 6th grade puts a kid on track for Differential Equations in 12th.  That level math class is lost on a kid who is also not learning computer or electrical engineering in conjunction.[/quote]

I agree with this.  [/quote]

Have you ever thought that the decision to implement this "pilot" was decided by people who are not associated with the mathematics office in FCPS?[/quote]

Our principal made it pretty clear that the haphazard implementation was a Reid decision.  She just steamrolled everyone, I suppose.  Whatevs.  She'll be gone like Brabrand.  [/quote]

Principals had a choice and most chose to run the experiment [/quote]

Wrong. Our principal was very clear in June she had no intention of running it, wanted nothing to do with it, said algebra had no place in elementary schools. At the county meeting she said she got a phone call the week before school started saying she didn’t have a choice, this was happening, figure out who will teach it.[/quote]

6th grade is middle school in the majority of other counties…[/quote]
