[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frost Middle has Hon Algebra 2 on campus. [/quote]

It is probably because it's one of the only schools that allows 6th-grade students with 250+ map-m scores to take Algebra 1. [/quote]

It's because the HS Algebra 2 teacher can walk from the back door of Wooton down the path to the back door of Frost in about 2 minutes.  And bacause MCPS tolerates differential implementation of curricula, bending to group parent pressure at one school but failing to provide the equivalent to students across the county.[/quote]

Yes, especially at the more affluent schools, almost anything goes.[/quote]

I'll feed the troll...

It's not about affluence.  It's about schools not offering the same thing across the county, some liberal in their management/policy interpretation and some strict, some bowing to parent pressure and others not, while MCPS intentionally remains mum and does little or nothing to address root causes of difference.[/quote]
LOL. HS classes come and go based on demand.[/quote]

Great.  Does MCPS make it widely known that HS Algebra 2 is available at all middle schools based on demand, and do they publicize the criteria that are used when making the demand-based decision?[/quote]
They want the kids who want it to ask for it. Get 20 kids together who're enthusiastic about and you'll likely get the class.[/quote]
Again, great for those in a school with 20.  How are they making it equally accessible to an advanced learner in a school with 5..or 2...or 1?[/quote]
They take it during first period at a nearby HS.[/quote]

Yes, they take it during first period at a nearby HS if you are at a wealthy Potomac school otherwise not an option.[/quote]
