[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perry Stein should be alerted to this and there should be major pressure put on DCPS to end this 4x4 requirement.

For the record, Wilson did NOT want to be on the 4x4 schedule--DCPS forced it on them (all DCPS high schools except the "special' schools like Walls and McKinley Tech are now on it) and it's a disaster.  Some kids will have no math or language for a year (if they had it last fall and not until next spring)..others--like OPs--will be without instruction if they can't get a teacher in the classroom for the bulk of a term. They are doing it because there is (limited) evidence that it increases graduation rates (because kids can more easily retake classes if they fail)...however, there is also evidence that overall learning/retention is poorer.

You can blame the Secondary Schools office for the 4x4 schedule as they railroaded the change through over the objections of the office of teaching and learning. Email Melissa Kim and tell her how bad it’s been. [/quote]
