Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 5263912, member: 5787"] Anyone ever taught at a school where math has been cut? When I built our curriculum about ten years ago, we had 300 minutes a week (which I know is a ton) and a few years ago we’ve been whittled down to 225 minutes a week (45 minutes every day), which I realize is pretty normal in most schools, so I kept my complaints minimal. Anyways, last week, I had a meeting with our head of MS to discuss next year’s schedule and she proposed four days of math per week at 45 minutes, totaling out to 180 total. I was pretty shocked, especially considering the high standards these kids have at our private school, and especially with many applying to private high schools after graduating after grade 8. When it was clear I was very unhappy with this change, another option was proposed: two days a week for 90 minutes/week. I laughed out loud. Good news is that the HOS got word of my disappointment so we’ll meet Wednesday to discuss schedule. [/QUOTE]
