[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m fed up with how far mcps high schools have devolved that I’m contemplating private HS school for my younger kids (older kids went through/are in mcps HS).

I just came from an open house at an area private with block schedules to accommodate the rigorous academics. It aligns with the private school education I received which more than prepared me for college and grad school.

ICYMI: mcps high schools have devolved to a point where many/most seniors have half day schedules, and test taking is a struggle for many/most once they get to college.

I think a block schedule might be a solution for mcps.

Does anyone know if mcps has ever contemplated this?

Most high school seniors EVERYWHERE have half day schedules if they have completed their graduation requirements. This isn't a "devolved" MCPS thing. It's a non-issue.[/quote]

Because our minimum graduation requirements are what everyone should be striving for?  [/quote]

*Massive eye roll* DP, but you're just trying to stir up controversy where there is none. I took a half day schedule my senior year in order to take college classes at the Montgomery College the other half. I graduated from Harvard. Don't pretend you know what every kid is doing with that additional time they have. Many are striving to make themselves better students whether it be through taking college courses, internships, working, tutoring, etc. A half day schedule is completely normal as the PP all over the country. Try and keep up with the times without your smugness as if you have a clue what is actually going on.[/quote]
