[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those whose kids were bussed from MS to HS for the Algebra 2, typically when are these classes held? How did the transportation work? Do you have to drop off your kid at the MS or HS where it is offered? And from there a bus will pick up and drop them back at their MS? During the commute what did your kid miss out on? How do they decide which school your kid will go to for the class?[/quote]

Typically HS first period as HS starts earlier than MS.[/quote]
So much work to be able to brag about your kid being extra advanced in math[/quote]

It’s not bragging, it’s meeting your child’s needs. [/b]Some schools offer Algebra 2. [/quote]

I also think it is very unfair to kids from other schools who may be smart but they cannot access that education because they are in the wrong zip code or zoned school.[/quote]

The bigger problem is starting on this track and your assigned hs doesn’t have anything after calculus so your kid has no math classes for two years. [/quote]

If the assigned school doesn't have anything after calculus, the kid could take it in a school which has it or at MC or UMD.

But the question is how do you address the needs of kids who are smart, do not get into the magnet through lottery and their home schools suck. All the ES,MS and HS that don't have special programs should have the same curriculum for core courses.

How does the child get to that school?  How do they get to MC or UMD?  MC and UMD during the day would be impossible with a full schedule and later classes even worse if your child is in activities.  MCPS should be consistent in their offerings at all schools.  My junior will not be driving age, for example and we aren't near buses that could get there and the public bus would take 90 minutes each way, so what 3 hours a day?[/quote]
