[quote=Anonymous]This is also true at Neelsville MS. All kids are put into Advanced English classes for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. (Except if you score high enough on the MSA then you can skip 6th grade English and take a foreign language instead) That is the only English class offered for all the grade levels. How is this beneficial and just what does "advanced" mean in an instance like this that this is the only class offered? Then, as I understand it, in the 8th grade, if the grade you recieve doesn't pass a certain threshold then your transcripts to High School will not say that you took Advanced English but just plain old English. Someone will have to explain the benefits of this to me as I can't understand why this makes good sense. Is this just a way for MCPS to manipulate that fact that they are closing the achievement gap because all students are taking "Advanced" classes? How is the classroom differentiated, or is it?
