[quote=Anonymous]I actually don't think this is rocket science. It's just that MCPS seems incapable of sticking with a plan for more than about two years in a row. Here's what I would recommend, based on what I saw when my kids started in MCPS about 15 years ago. 1) Flexible but meaningful enrichment beginning in early elementary, to capture highly able learners who may not be enriched at home. 2) Pull-out programming for those kids, either in-school or through Saturday School type activities for bright kids who are FARMS-eligible or attend Focus/Title I schools. 3) Higher standards for compacted math, but only after having made an effort to build up a cadre of kids who can handle the work regardless of economic background. 4) Bring back actual Advanced/Honors classes in MS and HS, so that parents don't feel like their only choices are magnets, or pushing kids ahead because the "Honors" classes are now remedial.
