[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Many posters are unaware of the dramatic changes that MCPS implemented for selecting kids to be in compacted math this year. It is much, much less available than previous years.[/quote]

That's true, and probably the right choice in general (not just due to pandemic). But MCPS has set a goal of getting (almost) every kid to Algebra I by 8th grade. You can't do that if you are pulling 1/3 of the kids off the grade-level math track. That's why I think PP amended their response. It's not "remedial" math, it's just grade level math that may be going slower.

It is interesting, though, that PP seems to be claiming that Compacted Math is no longer being taught separately from grade-level math. Are they all in the same room? Is that the new model? [/quote]

They had this goal for my son's year too (he is a senior in college now).  They just pretty much put everyone in Algebra in 8th and hoped.  By Oct/Nov they realized that it was just not going to work and moved kids out of algebra who needed more support. I guess they are hoping harder this time.[/quote]
