[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here, you can see what schools have it if you scroll down to the math spreadsheet and look at what schools offer Algebra 2, but that is not fully accurate as some schools bus the kids to the local high school.

This must be from before C2.0 since they haven't had Algebra 2 at TPMS in like a decade. [/quote]

That is completely untrue! They have algebra 2 right now at TPMS.

What they won’t do is put kids into algebra 1 in 6th grade based on scores or achievements. They will only do it if they already took AIM in fifth. That small group of kids then ends up taking algebra 2 in 8th. Just like they are doing RIGHT NOW![/quote]

Stop making stuff up.  My kid never took aim.  [/quote]

Then your kid is very special. The magnet coordinator and the previous one have been very clear that no one does algebra in 6th grade if they haven’t done AIM in 5th and even then they strongly discourages it.[/quote]

Correct, one of the only accurate statements in this thread.[/quote]

It's not relevant as the kids we are talking about are not at Tacoma Park.  You seem to miss that MCPS doesn't revolve around just that school and how they do things.

My kid is special to me, not MCPS.[/quoIte]

It is exactly relevant since a PP poster was making false claims about TPMS and that's what was being discussed. Further, you're clearly not from Montgomery County and can't spell Takoma Park. [/quote]
