[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep hearing about more and more current 9th graders struggling in Alg 2 and AP history and needing tutors.   Much better choice to put your kid on a slower track so they can stay in honors.  Need to break the stigma that all the kids need to be in the hardest classes.   That does not work out for many kids down the road in HS. [/quote]
Current 9th graders in A2 took A1 during remote school. Their struggle is likely a lot worse than prior 9th grade A2 cohorts given the weak A1 base they received. [/quote]

Not necessarily.  And, Algebra 2 is generally 8-10 grade, not just 9th.  Mine did fine in virtual learning.  We also supplemented outside. [/quote]
Outside supplementation was important to come out of virtual learning on track. But a lot of kids didn't have access to that, either from lack of resources or because parents didn't realize it was needed in time. Those latter kids are struggling more than usual now, particularly in 9th grade A2 since they were virtual for A1. [/quote]

Mcps has offered multiple options for two years for tutoring.  If you choose not to use them or help your kids that’s on you. [/quote]

But the county needs to take responsibility, I pay taxes. They should be raising my kids.[/quote]
