Many countries have one or more official languages. We don’t, but of course English is the de facto official language. |
It HASN'T! Look at Kennedy's data. They had Honors for All since 2017 and the results have not improved. Stop ignoring the obvious and pull your head out of the sand. |
You must be a teen. Everyone knows that the bolded is what No Child Left Behind tried to do...and it largely failed. You can't just *expect* more and, voila, it happens. Plus, in practice this will translate into lower expectations for the best and most motivated students. |
Common sense is not common, as you are so expertly proving with your lack of comprehension, analysis and critical thinking. |
It's great that MCPS is doing this! |
Those with means will circumvent the system as they always have. No honors classes in schools = greater demand for private tutoring services. Only those who are economically disadvantaged could be hurt by the decline of standards in public school education. |
Actually, the Kennedy data was thoroughly convincing that raising the bar resulted in dramatic improvement. |
Well, then you'll be pleased to know that there are more honors classes not less. |
They are not actual honors classes. How can you have an accelerated class with such dramatically different levels of ability? |
But MCPS said they were actual honors classes. I get that you want to pretend that the sky is falling but just saying things doesn't make it true. |
What dramatic improvement did you see? You're not making any sense. |
And I get that if you pretend to ignore facts and first-hand experiences of parents with students in these schools and classes that you feel like you're winning, but you're not. It's called gaslighting and you're not good at it. |
Huh?? If 71% of students are meeting on-level requirements for literacy, I can assure you they can handle honors classes . It's only 38% statewide and 28% nationwide |
I was going to post the exact same thing about the people claiming that honors classes aren't really honors classes. Seriously stop at the gas lighting already. There's no evidence that supports any of these claims. |
Are you citing MCAP data? You do realize that test is meaningless. |
