[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just found our HS offers 9th Honor English to all 9th graders. Is this a new policy in MCPS?[/quote] In Montgomery County, all the children are above average.[/quote] Only in W schools.[/quote] When my kids were in school, many W parents demanded the school put their kids in APs. The result was the courses got dumbed down so they could keep up.[/quote] This doesn't strike me as a real-life example because in AP you have to pay the piper when you sit for the exam. Dumbing down the class means dumbing down the test scores.[/quote] Unfortunately it happens all the time.[/quote] If kids are maintaining similar scores on the standardized national exams, MCPS can’t be dumbing-down their classes all that much. [/quote] (AP exams and AP classes, that is.)[/quote]
