[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they need Teachers recommendations this year?[/quote]

No. No Teacher Recommendations, no Map-R (for SMCSM). Just 7th grades and Q1 8th grades + Map-M + essays/statements. That's it.

What I didn't understand from last night's meeting is whether or not they know if kids went to the TPMS magnet. [b]Transcripts clearly list that the 7th grade math class was "Mag Algebra I[/b]" which is only available at TPMS. It also indicates the math class was different (2x speed + more content). Is that scrubbed to eliminate the "Mag" - I think that would be disingenuous and unfair, only because the class is materially different. The answers were unclear.

just checked 2018/2019 of TPMS math on DC's transcript.  Algebra 1A and Algebra 1B    [/quote]

Oh I see that too. Weird though because this year is Mag Geometry. [/quote]

I believe Algebra 1 is non weighted course (it does not have honor level)  For MCPS transcript, Magnet, Honor and AP are all weighted classes --   Some high school courses are not weighted like Spanish 1 and 2[/quote]

But our kids took magnet algebra and the transcript just says “algebra”. I’m not following how this weighted issue applies.[/quote]

your kids (as well as mine) took magnet algebra 1 in a magnet middle school program.  but it has to be conformed into MCPS transcript format.  You may see magnet geometry because this cause as well as algebra ii are two levels (weighted such as honor, magnet and non-weighted)  [/quote]

I can’t follow what you are saying here.[/quote]

Simply put Algebra I is not weighted   not like geometry which is weighted -- Hon/Mag weighted 5   [/quote]

You mean for the high school transcript for college? This has nothing to do with magnet admissions
