[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big issue is that math is limited this year to 2 choices: either math 4 or math 4/5. This is unacceptable. Some of these kids are ready and able to do so much more but their math options are artificially limited. It is about 2.0 dumbing down HHS curriculum.[/quote] I attended a meeting with MCPS high school teachers who discussed the fact that many of their students were not ready for the highest level math and had missed developing a strong number sense. They all agreed on what they were seeing in the classroom. I'm not disagreeing that some kids are math prodigies but it's a small percentage. If your kid is in 4/5 math this year, they'll take Algebra I in 7th grade. That hardly seems remedial. Are you a mathematician? Just wondering why everybody is in such a hurry for Differential Equations in high school. If your child needs college level math in HS, they can be bussed to MC.[/quote]
