How would you handle a school with 5 qualified children in a grade? Do they get their own class?

Yes

I think the maximum size for high school should be 300 kids per grade.

Is this like the scarecrow in wizard of oz?

I would add up-to-date, clearly organized websites.

Textbooks. Mainly so parents can have their security blanket at home. It really won’t help for my course.

Actual consequences for behavior. We need to stop labeling everything as racist. My kid's private school has a flow chart (for lack of a better word) for behavior. Behavior is grouped into different categories and it shows exactly what happens for each type of behavior. There are plenty of minority students at the school and nobody is calling these consequences racist. It is no nonsense and teaches the students that their choices have consequences.

Are you out of your mind? With a few days you will be called racist. I am glad it's working at your kid's school but no one has balls to implement this system wide.

A functional web interface to replace the sh**show that is Canvas/Synergy/Parentvue/Gradebook.

We moved from another school district that had a much better system than MCPS.

The problem is many classes with no textbooks are hard to follow and set kids up to fail. Some kids do better with structured teaching. What’s going on now clearly isn’t working.

Most college courses don’t use textbooks.

BS! They use a book. A textbook, professional journals, fiction, non fiction, etc. Nobody is teaching college on a whim you idiot!

Same applies to secondary schools. They’re using content related texts (primary sources, journals, articles, etc.), just not textbooks.
