[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the article. What an absolute mess.

I can’t understand how anyone can continue defending this district or pretending it’s providing kids with a high quality education.[/quote]

Can you post it online? I don't think it's on their website, which is annoying.[/quote]

Try this: https://issuu.com/bethesdamagazine/docs/bethesda-sept-2024?ff

It starts on page 64.

Wow. The article was good and thorough. The responses from MCPS, via its spokesperson, was absolutely pathetic. MCPS has no shame.[/quote]

Where was MCPS’s response to the article? [/quote]

There were several responses from someone only identified as an MCPS spokesperson in the article.....[/quote]

Oh, yeah — I saw those. I thought you meant they’ve responded separately.

Their statement about final exams was pathetic. [/quote]

Final exams? That could hurt somebodies feelings or appear racist. That crap is from when America was great. We’re happy down here in the sloppy slovely disheveled sewer catching West Nile virus and Monkeypox.[/quote]

And then when they get to college, they have a damn rude awakening when they realize they’ll actually have to write papers, read books, and take final exams. [/quote]

Not really.  Colleges have had to adjust to reality and meet students where they are.  [/quote]

I am sure that Colleges have made some adjustments to help students, but I am not sure that the adjustments are always the type you would want or that they are done as often as you would like.

For students going to MC as early college for engineering track, they must take an online chemistry prep program (not for credit) in the summer before college and score high enough to be allowed to participate in the program. Some might say this is a great adjustment, some might think it is not.

MC has continued its grading policy where kids cannot turn things in late, must attend class, cannot reassess, etc. Of course some exceptions for extreme cases might be made, but they have appeared to be strictly adhering to this policy.

What types of adjustments have you seen? Are these the sort of adjustments you were referring to?[/quote]
