[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, My 8th grade DS (smart kid who went to CES program) has barely improved his map reading scores since entering middle school. With all the issues with the Mcps reading English middle school classes ([b]honors for all )[/b] what can i do outside of school to work on improving his literacy? I started having him read higher level biographies (hes enjoying this) versus the easy sports fiction books he has been drawn to.[/quote] I wish MCPS parents would get together and push back on this. It’s a terrible practice that teachers beg admin to drop, but it makes scheduling easier and avoids uncomfortable conversations, so admin acts like it’s good for kids. If enough parents agitated about “all advanced” English, Taylor might let us level classes again. —MS English teacher[/quote]
