[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS keeps this on the down low for sure.

I do have several kids in MCPS high schools and I don’t love the fact that they don’t get to move as quickly as they might in a “real” Honors class, but they will survive, and I’m glad that MCPS is at least trying something. Because the achievement gap is shameful.

Anyway, it’s in 11th grade that the split happens- the on level kids stay in Honors Whatever 11 and the others head off to AP classes.

So maybe the mixing in 9th and 10th is good- nobody should be tracked as low achieving/likely not to succeed already at age 14! That’s horrible. Especially if historically the tracking system was racist, or at least perpetuated racism.

Someone that takes on level classes are not likely to succeed? WTF

Were kids from different racial or ethic groups not allowed to take honors coursed in the past? Really?

Of course they were. I'm a POC and like I said, teachers noticed my talent and recommended me for the Honors classes and I rose to the occasion. I was challenged but I was as capable as the teachers who recommended me thought I was.[/quote]
