[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math complaints seem to all boil down to the lack of a sure way for a student to take differential equations and/or linear algebra in or by 12th grade. Because that would be the point of all of the earlier math acceleration, right? Does the fact that students in public schools in DC don’t have this track available to them (at least not without a dual college enrollment option) make DC an “atrocity” or a “failing” school system far behind others? How many other school districts offer this pathway?[/quote] I think the biggest problem for DCPS is less that they don’t offer some half assed Diff Eq in high school but more that your kid won’t get to calculus by 12th unless you, as a parent, are aware of the fact required classes a kid needs to take in middle school and pushes those classes. DCPS’ default isn’t geometry in 9th or even preparation for that, and that’s the problem. [/quote]
