[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Article from WSJ today. Too bad for the schools doing this, https://www.wsj.com/articles/to-increase-equity-school-districts-eliminate-honors-classes-d5985dee[/quote] Instead of eliminating honors which is the national trend, MCPS is doing the opposite and raising the bar by requiring honors for all. [/quote] Except they're not raising the bar. They're diluting the rigor in the name of honors for all.[/quote] Is there any evidence to this effect or is it just your assumption?[/quote] DP.. have you looked at the scores of certain segments of the MCPS student population? A lot of those kids are in "honors" classes because a lot of the HS no longer have on track classes. There is so much grade inflation, 50% rule, retake of exams, it's hard not to get bad grades, but still, some do. [/quote]
