[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should start, at the high school level, by going back to all AP. Drop IB. That right off the bat is not equal opportunity since the programs are very different.

Language programs could be more balanced - they are very different across the high schools. This would likely require some online options since some schools won't be able to support full classes.

Put AAP in all middle schools.

As for 'equal outcomes' - this is just stupid talk. Tell me how the Langley kid with two English speaking professional parents is likely going to have the same outcome as the Central American kid who got his first formal schooling at age 13 or 14. This is the current reality in Fairfax and other localities. Some of those kids will beat the odds and excel, but from a larger numbers game equal outcomes is nothing but a pipe dream and virtue signaling.[/quote]

Agree with the idea of offering online language options.  Langley can support Russian and Japanese 1-4 on site; a Mt. Vernon or Justice could not.

But as for AAP, would Glasgow MS even be accredited if the AAP kids from Holmes and Poe were moved back?   [/quote]

Don't know if it would be accredited, but if the only reason it is accredited is because of students from other pyramids then we know where FCPS has some work to do (well, we already know that).[/quote]
