Some MCPS teachers don't have a math background and try to teach Algebra I.  It is a travesty that MCPS needs to address.  Mr. "I have my foot out of the door" Starr needs to stop pandering to the unions and address the teacher incompetence issue.  [/quote]

Agreed!  My DD is struggling in Algebra 1 big time.  I have spent hundreds upon hundreds on tutors - one who is specialized is MoCo math. I gave him access to DD's Edline account so he could see the content of upcoming tests.  [b]He has commented more than once on how fast they are moving thru the curriculum with little review time and that they are covering a lot of A2 content in A1 without the foundations being in place so these kids are lost!

I agree with the text in bold, but the problem is with the curriculum, not the teachers.  Many MCPS teachers believe the curriculum is too accelerated, but MCPS has staked its reputation on this and many parents fall for it.  [/quote]
