[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS seems to be more about social emotional learning rather than any serious academic learning, but I don't think the kids are learning much of either judging by the behavioral issues all around MSs.

I can only speak to our experience at the MS my DC just left - it sucked. Even the so-called more challenging classes were lackluster. Yea, and no HW, sorry, yes there is HW, all of 10min. My kids would finish all their HW in class.

The equity BS is real.  Lower the bar so the lower performing kids don't feel so bad about themselves.

HS is a lot better but only because there are tons of AP classes. [b]The "honors" classes are a joke[/b].[/quote]

Yes, this was one of the most jarring things for me. "Honors" has lost any and all meaning in MCPS's current state.[/quote]
It's part of the grade inflation so that certain kids don't feel left out.  They did away with "on level" regular classes when the administrators looked at the class demographics and didn't like what they saw. So, now those kids are in "honors" classes so it makes everyone feel better.[/quote]
