[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Public school can only do so much to compensate for unequal home lives and resources. I'm in favor of Young Scholars and Head Start programs when kids are young and need a leg up. If doing so causes more kids to qualify for early Algebra, that's great. I'm not in favor of pushing unqualified kids into advanced classes or watering down those advanced classes just to close the achievement gap on paper. [/quote] Agree. Fcps foes also track the percentsge of 8th grade Alg takers who show proficiency by padding the SOL. This metric would show whether the content of Alg is being diluted or kids are ready to succeed. Right now, I think all hroups have passrates in the 90s. The Alg SOL serves as a "floor" for what FCPS teaches in Alg. [/quote]
