[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it's about time they stopped trying to make everything cookie cutter. Its the sad truth that kids in some schools are better prepared than others. Punishing those who work harder is going to be the death of this entire county... and I say that as a progressive  liberal.  What we've been doing isn't fixing the problem. [/quote]

"As a progressive liberal," you should understand that population-level statistics are not the same as individual statistics.

You seem to think that a high-needs, low-income, global majority school just shouldn't offer certain math courses (or other classes). But you are confusing two things: 1) What is the average level of preparation for an average kid in this school?; and 2) Are there children in every school that need accelerated work?

The answer to the second question is YES, there are kids at every single MCPS middle school who can access the AIM/IM curriculum and should have access to it. Maybe Westland offers 6 sections of AIM and Col. Lee offers 2, but every child who needs it, should be able to access it. [/quote]

Exactly this! There might be fewer students who qualify, but any child who does qualify should have access to the higher-level classes![/quote]
