[quote=Anonymous]A wise and sincere educational leader would want to see the effects of such policies using the outside metric of State exams over the next 3 years.  Only a fox would make such draconian changes to the MCPS educational track then turn a blind eye to outside annual exams (for 3 years)  to monitor or gauge effects of such draconian changes.

To Starr:  If one makes swift and significant pertubations to the educational system and process you had better [b]monitor closely[/b] the effects of such changes on the performance of your students (internally and externally).  Burying your head in the ground for 3 years and avoiding external assessment is not permitted.   When you make radical changes to a system (e.g., eliminate subject acceleration, change the grading and student assessment system) you simply DO NOT eliminate well established outside or external annual metrics of your educational program.  Such longstanding validated information is a vital check, comparator, measure of  internal tinkering.

Education 101, Mr Starr.
