[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a HS offer a placement test when only one eve is offered, honors for all, in 9th and 10th grade? After that, students can sign up for AB and IB if they want. [b]There is zero gatekeeping.[/b] [/quote] Try getting a French immersion student who has been exposed to the language for 9 years (and three periods during the last three of those) placed in something higher than level 4 as a freshman (where students having been in standard, one-period French 1, 2 & 3 in middle school also are placed). I'm sure there are other examples of rigidity, local or across the board, where schools just don't make an effort to meet students where they are.[/quote] Well, no MCPS magnet program is going to let a student do that, either. [/quote] OK. Still gatekeeping. Still failing to meet students where they are.[/quote]
