[quote=Anonymous]Many students are graduating from mcps not college ready.these students may be applying to Maryland or other universities, but the reality is, many students will be at MC taking remedial writing and math classes until they can test in to college level, credit bearing classes. Personally, I think we need to raise the bar for graduation. I think it is nearly impossible to not graduate if a student keeps showing up, even if showing up means goofing around, or only attending a few days a week. Administrators don't want to see graduation rates go down, so they press teachers to do what it takes to help the kid "pass" the class. They are in no way ready for college, but they graduated from high school, so they think there's not an issue. [/quote]
