[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Pyle there is only Honors English and special ed English. They claimed they had the higher history class, but they didn’t. Transcripts said one thing, class was mixed. The principal didn’t care, all
In the name of equity.[/quote]

Not disputing but noting that is one school of 213.  And of course there are others.  The challenge is that folks generalize the entire district as being bad which is not correct, and it does real damage.[/quote]

Conversely, folks generalize the district as being "good," when that doesn't match the lived experience for many in the district. Maybe we should all agree that MCPS is mixed at best. With some schools being good and some being bad.[/quote]

Not really accurate either. The truth is people get out of it what they put into it. [b]Plenty of MCPS kids get into top schools every year.[/b] [/quote]

And this is a logical fallacy.  Colleges are choosing from a universe of 12th graders in the country and many, many districts are struggling.  Of course some of them are going to be the high IQ children of one of the most educated areas in the country.  [b]This does not mean that those students have learned as much as they are capable of, nor does it mean that MCPS is not degenerating[/b] with grade inflation, behavioral problems, etc.  Why are you so willing to accept mediocrity?  School systems should ALWAYS be striving for improvement.[/quote]

Sure it does. It's not all that complicated. [/quote]
