[quote=Anonymous][quote]no one has said that mcps *trying* to offer enriched classes is a bad thing, only that such classes aren't really all that enriched. My 7th grader is an "Honors" class now, and it's a joke. DC complains about how slow it is. Teachers are supposed to offer differentiation for the kids who are advanced, per the Principal when a bunch of former HGC students' parents met with the school. Two years later, DC really sees not much differentiation.

That's why I'm hugely skeptical about these so called more enriched classes.[/quote]

X100.0 MCPS will never expand quality GT programs because there are too many people in the Central Office who can't stand that the demographics play out in a way that benefits whites and asians. It is their opinion that the demographic groups which are 2-3 years ahead of the URM students should be held back as much as possible.

What is said is that many progressive whites moves to Montgomery County because they were totally for social programs and didn't mind paying extra taxes for them. They also didn't mind if more resources went to URM students or students with more URM students. They are not OK with the Central Office's attitude that their children do not and will never matter to MCPS. They are moving to NOVA (and making it bluer which is great) and Howard County[/quote]
