[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think is true that there are some kinds now that are underachieving. IMO this happens because they took away all acceleration until grade 4. After grade 4 there are only limited opportunities in the magnet programs. Most kids however are doing just fine. Its the ones at the very top and towards the very bottom that are not served by a one size fits all situation. Yes, I know MCPS says there are all kinds of "enrichment" opportunities built in. [b]This seems to happen at some schools but not others.[/b][/quote] That's what it seems like but I don't understand why? I wonder if enrichment happens less in the red zone schools because there are not enough higher achievers, that the expectations are set low for minority kids? Just read the article about how schools tend to have lower expectations of minority children. Sad really. http://qz.com/289843/60-years-late-the-us-is-finally-trying-to-desegregate-its-classrooms/[/quote]
