[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is in "advanced" English in my daughter's 6th grade middle school. It's ridiculous.[/quote] Just think of it as the on-level class. [/quote] MCPS is like Lake Wobegon, “where all the children are above average.”[/quote] In wealthy schools, this is probably mostly true. MCPS benchmark for Ker at the end of year is level 4 reading. At our mostly UMC ES, benchmark was an unstated level 6. Unfortunately, yes, in MS, the "advanced" level is a joke. My kids who were always advanced readers were completely bored in MS. In HS, unless you are in RMIB where you start taking RMS English 9, which is a magnet level English class, the "honors" English class is also a joke. At least in 11th grade you can start taking AP English classes. I've had two kids, one went through RMIB and another a non magnet, "honors" English. What a difference.[/quote]
