[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The superintendent expressed dismay in one of the employee town halls that FCPS doesn’t offer precalculus in middle school (apparently her former district did at all schools). She is very much a fan of acceleration (much to the chagrin of high school math teachers!!) I absolutely see algebra being the minimum for 8th graders in the next couple years, but I will be shocked if she is on board with holding kids back who are ready to accelerate. As a high school math teacher I am nervous for what this will look like. Kids are already really struggling to keep up.[/quote] Algebra being the minimum is different from algebra being the maximum. I don't think they will ever implement algebra as the minimum, except for maybe a pretend class labeled algebra which is actually prealgebra to keep too many kids from failing.[/quote]
