[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s how MCPS solves the problem of offering more courses than they can staff or find a classroom space for.[/b] Is it developmentally appropriate for this age group? Probably not. For those that argue that it prepares them for college, then why not just switch to a 4x4 block schedule so a child can complete an entire course with the same teacher and focus on 4 classes per semester. There is even a modified 4x4 block with a 5th period that meets for less time year round. MCPS is stuck in the mindset of “this is what we’ve always done” yet they claim to be so innovative.[/quote] Huh? It doesn't even solve that problem.[/quote] 4x4 is also really bad for AP students. You take a course Aug-Jan and then have to remember it all until May.[/quote] Tell that to all of private school kids taking AP exams without even taking the AP course. Heck, even some public school kids take the test without taking the class.[/quote]
