[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll step in for the poster. Proficient was the wrong word. I'll let you substitute any word of your choosing. It doesn't change the thrust of the assertions. [b] MCPS does not encourage, promote, or provide pathways for proficient students to take on more challenge. [/b] This is acceptable in music and athletics but not academics. [/quote] I am not either if the PPs, but this is a valid assertion, IME. But to be honest, I don't think this is an issue unique to MCPS. Public schools are designed to make sure that everyone gets to a basic level. They are not designed to encourage creativity and to challenge high achievers. It's just the way the American school system seems to work.[/quote]
