My letter to board of education

Dear Board Members:

I saw a nice boy who has failed algebra1 five times here at Magruder HS. According to his teacher, he is too low to pass. Although he is a unique person, more students like him are appearing. They are coming from closed learning centers. Their lack of knowledge is a result of excessive acceleration of mathematics in their younger years. Most of them are minority students and they do not see much hope of graduation.

Is it possible to bring MAPS1, MAPS2 back or make new courses in pre-algebra for them? These young folks can actually improve from current levels and become more capable. My own daughter passed high school with MAPS, algebra1, PGA, and geometry.

Best Regards,

Ed Hsu Magruder Mathematics 2/2009
