[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS literally serves the accelerated students as well.  It is possible and better to have different classes for kids with different needs. Ask the teachers.

Yet, I assure you it is not the kids who did Algebra in 7th or 8th who are dragging down the test scores.  You know that PP.  this is an effort to deflect/distract from the real issues, which is failing to teach math to most of the kids.

Start with banning the phones.  Give the kids a chance to learn without notifications and text messages.  Too many distractions.[/quote]

Hi, PP. I'm not laying the blame at the feet of kids who did Algebra in 7th or 8th grade. It was the MCPS experts who seemed to feel that was a key part of the issue. And they seemed to believe that the compacted math instruction was causing kids to miss key skills, that inhibited their proficiency.

I don't know why the MCPS staff are persuaded of this POV, but it's what they publicly spoke about in that board meeting.[/quote]
