[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it fair that there is ONE school in the county where students get RMS and no one else does, not even students at that HS that has the RMS?[/quote]
Because it's a selective magnet program?  MCPS does not have unlimited budget to offer every HS the same exact classes.

Or are you of the opinion that if everyone can't have it then no one should?[/quote]

But weren't folks just saying that several other schools used to offer pre-IB classes and then were told they were no longer allowed to?  Except at RMIB where I guess it's okay?

What extra costs are you talking about that would be involved in letting all schools offer rigorous English classes in 9th and 10th grade for advanced students rather than sticking them in "honors for all"?[/quote]

There should be three tracks. One for the RMS level English, Honors and a third track whatever it needs to be called to help students who need assistance. The honors for all doesn't help anyone not students needing help nor those needing enrichment.[/quote]

This is exactly what they used to have, until several years ago when they eliminated the on-level and Pre-IB English classes, and put all ninth and tenth grade students into "Honors" English.[/quote]
