[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can find very little coverage of this policy change, which leads me to believe public engagement was lacking, to say the least. When the impacts of it on school schedules are made apparent, I hope there will be significant parental pushback. I have no idea how to organize a fight against the MSDE, but I’m going to start by contacting this genius, Director of Mathematics for the Maryland State Department of Education, Lyndsey Brightful at lyndsey.brightful@maryland.gov.[/quote]

This change was one part of a huge math policy overhaul that included tons of things like the change to Integrated Algebra/dropping geometry, changes around math interventions for kids who are behind, changes around math acceleration, changing up the standards of what has to be covered in math in different years, etc... it may have just gotten lost in the shuffle at the time.  Reaching out to MSDE isn't a bad idea, but honestly if they're going to change this they're probably going to need to hear pushback from the districts themselves, so it would be worth thinking about how to push MCPS to do so.
