[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does that work for foreign language electives? You only take it half a year for four years. That's terrible.[/quote]

Or you would take it every semester for 2 years. [/quote]

Which means if you came from a middle school that offers languages, as does the largest proportion of Wilson students (from Deal and Oyster, not sure about Hardy), you could easily run out of courses to take by the end of sophomore year. Mine is already out of languages to take at Wilson for senior year, having finished two AP language courses.

This proposal is not appropriate for [b]some of[/b] the extremely diverse Wilson student body. It seems designed to serve those who are at risk of flunking classes.[/quote]

With more than half of Wilson seniors not on track to graduate, it may be appropriate. And those students are part of the student body too.

Of course struggling kids are part of the student body at any public school, but public schools are supposed to serve ALL students, not one subset of students.

BTW, those "off track to graduate" numbers are going to need to be rerun, because they apparently included large numbers of kids who are doing OK academically, but who are behind on community service hours, which they can easily make up over the summer. [/quote]
