[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many UMC kids: Get tutored material “ above grade level” Get good teacher recommendations due to bias There is already a hidden unsaid shadow education system that advantages the privileged. “ honours for all” to me will just give all kids the same privileges as what used to be only available to those with pushy UMC parents without inherent loss of rigor.[/quote] In order for there to be no "inherent loss of rigor," MCPS would have to be ok with as much as half of the kids in the "honors for all" classes failing. But that's not the case because the rigor isn't the same and diluting the curriculum, slowing down the pace and making all kinds of compromises to accommodate the fact that they have a bunch of kids who aren't really on honors-level taking honors classes that are honors in name only.[/quote]
