[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aaaaaaaand back we go to smart = STEM.  Believe it or not, not all intelligent kids - or adults - give a hang about STEM.  A kid who "needs" more math can get it at Montgomery College any time they want, including summers.[/quote]

MC is after school/evening hours.  So, if your child is in any activities or sports, including school, MC makes it impossible.  Kids should get enough classes in math to graduate at the appropriate level.  Just because your kids don't need it, many others do.  [/quote]

"Many" do not need multivariable calculus.[/quote]

It's not about need.  Its about want, challenging yourself and being competative for college admission.  And, yes, if kids take it Sophmore or Junior year, they do "need" it as its required to take four years of math for graduation.

So, if its not needed, MCPS should get rid of it at all schools.  [/quote]

It is offered at the schools where there is high enough  demand to justify offering it. It's as simple as that.[/quote]

No, you are saying its not needed, so we should get rid of it at all schools.  There would be a demand if it was offered as then more kids would choose Einstein.[/quote]

I did not say that. If only a few students need/want the course, a school will not be able to offer it.[/quote]

Regardless of the numbers, they should offer it.  MCPS preaches equity, but there is none at many of our schools.  And, for equity, no kids should get MV.[/quote]
