[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a thing? Parent of a 5th grader who loves to dance and dances outside of school- I had no idea dance is taught in ANY MCPS schools.[/quote]

It's taught in many MCPS schools starting in MS.  My DD spent half her day in dance classes by senior year.  If you want to see examples, see if MCPS is doing a dance showcase this year.  Usually it's in February at Blake HS.  MS and HS are invited to participate.  Not all choose to do so, but a lot do.  [/quote]

I would not count on dance or other specialized electives in MS sticking around once the state math minutes mandate kicks in in fall 2027, since students will likely not be able to take 2 electives anymore.[/quote]

MCPS can do away w advisory and provide more math time that way. Now I realize that requires central office to use their brains, so what should be a completely obvious choice probably wont even be considered. [/quote]

The math classes themselves have to be 60 minutes, and unless the kids are all taking math the same period (which obviously is not doable logistically) that means that you need to have 60-minute math periods throughout the day, which you can't fix just by dropping advisory.  It really only works with a 6 period schedule.[/quote]

I’m a master scheduler at my school. It’s not that difficult. [/quote]
