[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Programs need to be increased and spread out. [b] All programs(Local and Central managed) need to have the same general basis of setup(e.g Coordinator, criteria, evaluation, knowledgeable staff, training, curriculum, appropriate funding allocation for the entirety of the program, etc).  [/b]AND rigor and expectations need to be increased and leveled for all students/staff/administrators at all schools and CO. Not all kids need or want to go to college, BUT all students need be educated such that they can make that choice for themselves and have the option. If folks are socially promoting kids in ES and they get to HS not reading, the HS teachers give the appropriate grade and recommendations for moving classes to appropriate level classes.  Then we investigate who failed that kid and hold them accountable.

Folks need to stop kicking the can and being afraid of the boss or CO or whatever excuse. Have some integrity. If teachers are experts in their fields then they should harness that and act like it. Clearly define what grades or comments mean and go forth. If administrators have different ideas then they are welcome to come back to the classroom to teach and grade. Heck, they are welcome to change grades so long as they are willing to bare the consequences[/quote]

Nothing that you recommend to happen is happening right now. The vast expansion without well planning, budgeting, resource acquisition, teacher training, etc. will only end up in killing reputable existing programs built and maintained with multi-years or even multi-decades of efforts, and local students will receive nothing but losing opportunities that would otherwise exist.

Increasing accessibility is good intention. Implementation-wise this is absolutely a disaster. Prove me that I'm wrong.

MCPS should make public how they plan to execute this massive change so we can judge if this is a good plan.[/quote]
