What’s the home school, if you don’t mind sharing?  Just curious because I haven’t yet heard of any schools doing all that well, including DCC schools like my own with a high FARMS rate,, but obviously there have to be some.[/quote]

Why not shoot first and share your home school?

They’ve opened a can of worms with Pyle. No one bothered to apply to the magnets before (or very very few) but now MCPS has to provide more GT programming there for fairness’ sake, and it’s a slippery slope. I really am dying to know what all the middle school principals think about this. They must be shaking their heads. All this time they’ve been flicking away the parents demanding rigor, only to be told they must now cater to them and upend all scheduling and deal with all the parents whose kids aren’t admitted to those courses. Holy hell, I wouldn’t want to be an MCPS principal these days. All that said, I think the county is doing the right thing under the current circumstances. I suspect they also wish they had thought this all the way through to its logical end. Which, spoiler alert, will likely involve expanding those classes to practically everyone at Pyle in time.[/quote]

Yeah. I wonder what a real principal thinks being told to teach the kids to their potential and ability level. Wonder what they think.

Well, if they were around before 2011, that is exactly what they did! I’d be pissed at mcps for f’ing up the curriculum and communizing a 200 school big district for the last six years. That was never going to work. Expect more roll-backs: ES, chromebook overuse, and lack of subjects in ES next up. [/quote]
