[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under the new guidelines, there won't be a Math 7 Honors.[/quote] ...which is exactly why people are upset. There won’t be Algebra in 7th either, even if you qualify across all measures. Up until now, I’ve thought private school was a waste at the secondary level if you have a bright kid. There used to be plenty of opportunities for differentiation. If public schools get rid of that, they have no right to act surprised when people go private from 7-12 in order to get their kid into a halfway decent college. [/quote] Exactly. I actually agree too many kids are placed in Algebra in 7th. But the obvious solution is to place fewer there in 7th and have them wait until 8th. Not 9th!! Also, strangely, LCPS does not offer “honors” level in math at all. The difficulty is simply determined by the class. As a parent I find this strange but it has true as long as we have been here at least.[/quote]
