[quote=Anonymous]I agree that mid terms and cumulative finals need to come back in. Its fine if everyone or almost everyone is an advanced class BUT the class should not have the bar lowered just to accommodate kids who can not do the work. Gate keeping IMO is wrong because it overlooks kids who don't test on standardized tests well but can thrive in an advanced class and kids who are willing to work harder than their peers to succeed in an advanced class. My private high school was a mix of 99.999% kids and legacy kids that had a much broader range. Some of the legacy kids were simply C/D students that just hung on but others worked twice as hard as their more intellectually gifted peers and in many classes ended up doing better because they never expected it to be easy. I saw the same thing in college. The key is not to lower the standards and workloads and do rigorous in class testing and grading. [/quote]
