[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure Pyle admin is resisting this as much as they possibly can--the school believes that anyone who wants extra rigor should go to a magnet, as if you can snap your fingers and go, particularly now. [/quote]

No they don't. You obviously are not in the Pyle pyramid or else you missed the last several PTA meetings or Principal speeches.

Historically the magnets have not been applied to since they are a very long commute away in rush hour traffic. Many kids have to also drop their after school travel sports and activities. 
But with common core the middle school experience has gotten so bad that now the community prefers magnet car pools and making it work. That or Pyle and MCPS can get its act together for its top half students. [/quote]

Pyle kids still apply in very small numbers to the magnets compared to other schools. Partially it’s the commute, partially it’s the “smart cohort” concept, even without the differentiation. Pyle has resisted differentiation for years but now theyre saying what parents want to hear because those are now the orders from above. Remains to be seen how they’ll  implement the classes or if it gets the job done. They don’t even really know exactly what’s going to happen yet. But make no mistake, they’re irritated as all get out that they have to do this, and what you’re hearing at those meetings is the party line.  [/quote]
