What else needs to change? APs can go year round. Foreign languages can go year round. Chorus and yearbook and similar electives can go year round. The “honors for all” courses are a write-off for strong students, but that was true before the 4x4. I just don’t see the crisis. Better for Wilson to work with these rules to make them work as well as possible than to keep fighting a 4x4 hybrid schedule that works fine at a variety of similar high schools all around the country.

[b]Math needs to change.[/b]  The course needs to be a year course.  Otherwise, students can go six months or a year with no math at all, and then are thrust into an accelerated course (covering two semester’s material in one).  [/quote]

Yes.  My daughter is in a DC private high school and spent about 4 weeks on logarithms in honors Algebra 2 this year.  Her best friend at Wilson spent 2 days total.  The girl has barely any idea what a logarithm is (by her own admission).  
I have a younger kid in DCPS middle school and this is really concerning to me as we consider high schools.  [/quote]

PLEASE send this information to leadership at DCPS.[/quote]
