Maybe MCPS can pay for the fees?[/quote] [quote]The ones from affluent families, too?[/quote] Of course! MCPS should stop removing any rigor or chance of failure from the system. Kids need to pass tests to move to the next grade level or acceleration program. If you fail then you must attend Saturday school and/or summer school. No more gate keeping on acceleration programs but no dumbing it down either. You want to be in GT/Magnet Level XYZ - no problem. If you earn lower than a C in the first semester you are out. Can't pass the Algebra final exam. OK - your butt is in summer school five days a week until you can pass. Its easier to solve problems if you aren't spending all your time trying to hide the problem. [/quote] This would be glorious! And vastly improve actual learning.[/quote]
