[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many states have education bureaucracy looking to eliminate advanced math in the name of equity.
All kids would be in the same class learning grade level subjects.  No honors classes, and no accelerating forward by a year or more.  Virginia was set to do this statewide, but they backed down for the moment with an election coming.
Looks like Maryland is doing it more behind the scenes.[/quote]

Can you show any evidence to support these claims? Without evidence, this seems like fearmongering.[/quote]
DP. But it would do MCPS a world of good if they were more transparent and up-front in their communication about advanced instruction. They are not, have not for a long time and therefore I think it reasonable for people to presume bad faith until evidence is presented otherwise.[/quote]

MCPS is headed by a woman now, but there's a paternalistic vibe that parents cannot possibly understand the complexity of their job leading a school district.  To some extent that's true - managing such a large school district with such diverse needs is a big complicated job.  For the most part, though, we can manage our own kids, and MCPS should not fall back on their paternalistic attitude for all, but rather should save the paternalism for the parents who need extra help.
