Subject: HS Course Registration Teacher Recs in ParentVue?
I remember seeing it in the Course Request section, but usually not this early. Around January/February when they are doing actual course selection.

This is from Churchill. I would bet that it applies across the school system. Start with slide 6. Find your kids current math class and current grade in that class. The flow chart will tell you what to register for.

The fact that one HS got this level of detail compared to others is infuriating. Taylor, this is why we don’t trust MCPS!!!!
It would probably irritate you even more to know that there was a parent meeting with the math dept to review the deck and have the ability to ask questions directly to the math dept.
But I don’t think this is an MCPS CO/Taylor issue. It’s one school and someone took the initiative to put this together. Any math teacher in any other school could do the same. This is like comparing 2 employees—one doesn’t have to be asked or told what to do, they see a gap and fill it. The other waits for someone to say something and if no one does then there’s no need to do any the ign.
Principal expectations set the bar.

Lol. I have kids in different schools and one school says it’s a new MCPS policy that teachers aren’t allowed to recommend courses for next year, although they can advise if asked. The other school had “recommendation day.”

There was thread a few weeks ago where an MCPS math teacher commented on the difference between on level and honors level. The teacher said in the honors level the expectation is that they spend 1 class period per topic, kids get hmwk that may cover additional applications then what were explicitly explained in class. For on grade level, the teacher said they may spend 2-3 class periods on a topic and the hmwk reinforces the concepts learned but does not ask the student to stretch their thinking.

I know the pathways but they’re not always followed or there are multiple choices. Like for math, a kid may be choosing btw regular and honors pre calculus or btw ab and bc calc. Or btw taking Span 5 or skipping to AP. My older kids always received teacher recs. The forms are due with parent signature first day back from break so students have to email teachers over break if they want feedback. Never experienced this before.

My kid got email from his math teacher. When actual courses came out in the spring, his current math teacher objected to his placement and sent a note to the counselor, the math dept lead, and me. I was impressed that he cared enough to review the kids schedules.
For English and science, I usually ask the teacher for recommendations but I don't receive them unless I initiate.

I feel like in past years there was a place in ParentVue where you’d see what the student’s current teacher recommends for next year’s course. Eg does the Hon Alg 2 teacher recommend reg or Hon Pre Calc? Anyone see it in ParentVue or elsewhere? It’s not in the Course Request section. The course registration has to be done over winter break.
