[quote=Anonymous]HS English teacher here. There is no difference anymore. Honors is on-level. They got rid of true honors because of “equity” and now everyone is in honors. There is no option to choose a non-honors course. As a result, all students get a weighted GPA for doing grade-level expectations. It’s ridiculous—and frankly—embarrassing for MCPS. Students are frustrated when they are bored or can’t keep up, and teachers are beyond exhausted trying to teach to everyone from language learns to gifted students. PARENTS… please appeal to Dr. Taylor. We as teachers have tried without results. MCPS needs to quit pretending that teachers have the time to make four different tiered lesson plans for each level of student for each day. Grouping kids by ability is not discriminatory it’s actually helpful to be able to tailor the learning to meet all students needs. [/quote]
