[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one in SMCS take CSP class or test. They all go directly to AP CSA after finishing 10th grade. CSP is for kids who don’t want to major in STEM. [/quote]

[b]Most don’t care about smcs.  Only you.  [/quote][/b]

Actually, given that this is a topic about new regional magnet programs and STEM is the most relevant magnet for the 21st century workforce, most of us care. Don't project your lack of interest for quality education on others. I am sure there are topics about high school sports and photography clubs that you will find more engaging.[/quote]

What are you worried about?  Competition?  SMCS isn't anything special and many of the kids in it aren't even super advanced in math, which is why they have to combine the math and speed it up.[/quote]

Yikes, you obviously don't know anything about this program.[/quote]

Actually, I do, and it wasn't useful for a lot of STEM majors, as it's more generic.  It wasn't impressive when kids had to take Algebra 2 in 9th and then had to catch up to kids already doing pre-algebra in 9th.  STEM is a lot of different areas.  The only thing good about it was access to more advanced classes which other schools don't have which is why they should have only allowed DCC students access since W students have access already.

The better solution would be to offer stem at all schools and have all schools go up to linear algebra.  And, have AP science, computer science, engineering, math, etc. classes.  [/quote]
