[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+100. I'm not sure if standards are falling at JR, but they are at Walls for two key reasons. As we know, students who wouldn't have been admitted pre-Covid are getting in, particularly kids who don't work at grade level for math, and the post pandemic principal is an empty suit. She doesn't hold her teachers accountable like the previous head did.

Walls parents don't  move. They hang around supplementing or pretending that the program is on a par with strong suburban programs. With Affirmative Action supposedly gone in college admissions, Walls is coming under new pressure to better prepare low and moderate minority students for college rigor. They're just not up to the challenge. [/quote]

As a MCPS teacher, I can tell you that standards are falling everywhere. Unfortunate but true. Kids barely have any concentration or focus any more possibly due to mindless swiping on their phones. We need to get cell phones out of schools. I have heard that Banneker uses cell phone lockers to keep phones out of the classroom. Every school should be doing that [/quote]
