[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is schoolwork easy? Guess the smarter kids will get all A's then and get into better schools. Seems like a win-win if you ask me.  Also, to the Maryland comment, we love that JR starts 9am. My kids love to sleep in.  I believe the bell is at 7:30 am in Maryland Montgomery County schools.  You couldn't pay me to move there!javascript:void(0);[/quote]

Ugh.  Is this what DCPS thinks?!  Do you not understand that colleges pay attention to HS’s overall profile?  Colleges hate schools that are too easy and where everybody gets As, so they can’t actually distinguish performance.  [/quote]

A school with J-R’s profile makes standardized test scores matter more. It’s good for some kids and bad for others, in terms of what it does to their admissions prospects.[/quote]

A small group might benefit in admissions.  No one benefits in actual learning or college preparation.

Yet another way that DCPS sacrifices education and the achievement of the hardest working students for the sake of optics.[/quote]

+1 million.  And the kids are not prepare and struggle in college.  The end goal is not getting easy A’s but being academically prepared for a much higher level playing field.[/quote]
