[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So kids are just supposed to do Khan Academy if they want to be prepared for Calc?[/quote] Honestly this is probably the answer. I have two high schoolers. I regret assuming they’d learn math properly from MCPS. They’ve had good teachers, earned As, scored well on standardized tests. But the depth of their mastery is severely lacking. There have been so many curriculum changes, topics omitted because of the pandemic and lack of continuity from curricula, and quite frankly not enough homework or paper/pencil calculations to reinforce concepts properly. Teachers need to do a lot of reteaching and get off pace because students aren’t tracked properly and don’t have great foundations. No accountability. The kids who do outside of school math are actually properly educated. The idea that they would condense three years into two and put numerous kids on a path to precalc in 9th is insanity. They’ve don’t even have enough upper level math options in many schools, nor do many kids want to take MVC (sorry Einstein mom). [/quote]
