[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] Did her former district have 9th grade in junior high? Precalculus in middle school is ridiculous. You couldn't fill 1 class from the whole county, probably not even from the whole state. Stop dumbing down Algebra and Geometry, and let the mediocre students get Bs, and you won't need to push 8th graders into precalc. [/quote]
