[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Repeat after me. Most kids do not need to be on a path to take Calculus in 11th grade. [/quote]OK. But some kids should.[/quote] NP. True, but compacted math in 4th is not the only path. Both my kids took Calc in 11th. DD took AP Calc. DS took Honors. Neither took compacted math in 4th because they weren’t in MCPS then. Neither took Algebra in 7th. Summer after 8th grade, both started accelerating by using (then free) summer school. In 11th, they ended up in the same Calc classes as the kids who took compacted math. I agree there need to be more on-ramps, but there isn’t only one. I doubt MCPS will eliminate it, but if compacted math disappears, use summer school to jump ahead. I guess the problem is the lack of cachet in the phrase “summer school” compared to “compacted math”.[/quote]
