[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article points out that at ALL MCPS schools, even in honor classes,  there’s a lack of rigor, grade level assignments, and assigned books. [/quote]

Even in AP classes!  Look at your high school’s AP scores and you can easily see that.  Very much a lack of rigor.[/quote]
21 out 25 MCPS schools  made the AP honor roll. 
MCPS has an [b]AP passing rate of over 70%[/b].
How is it a lack of rigor?[/quote]

And many, if not most AP courses have a total pass rate of 70% now, so this is nothing special.[/quote]
The national AP passing rate is 52%[/quote]

You are out-of-date... See last column...

For about half of those courses have a pass rate below 70%.  Even if they all had a 70% pass rate, isn’t that the point.  For kids to take a class and demonstrate mastery of the content?  It’s like you have a problem with kids and teachers being successful.[/quote]

MCPS used to have pass rates well above the national average.  Now they don't.  And the courses have definitely been diluted, in addition to re-norming of scores.[/quote]
