[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got an email at 5:30 today for our rising 6th grader. He can definitely do the math, [b]im more worried about the executive functioning and emotional maturity as years progress[/b]. Can he handle being a freshman in a class with seniors? He won’t drive until senior year, how will that impact his course options junior/senior year?

This is also a year that all SOL math courses are being tied to giving mandatory common assessments within a 2 week window. Our MS algebra teachers are stressing with pacing and content expectations, and they’ve taught the course for decades. To give an elementary teacher this with no resources (because that is the FCPS way), no license to teach algebra (they have until June to complete the praxis), and no colleagues on campus to share the burden (it will be singletons on all campuses) seems like setting things up to fail.

There is an information session at the school next week, I have a lot of questions…[/quote]
This is the issue.  As well as what math classes will he take/are available for his junior and senior year.[/quote]
