[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the 4x4 system means you could go a full year without some class like math/science/language/English??? How on earth is that the best education practice no matter the skill level…[/quote]

It's not--it's terrible, though it is becoming increasingly common across the country because it increases graduation rates (it's easier for kids to retake classes they fail).  But it's the lazy way to increase graduation rates as opposed to investing in educational methods that give at-risk kids the supports they need to pass classes in the first place.

[b]It is shocking that DCPS is doing this at the same time that there's such strong evidence that kids have fallen behind due to the year of remote...how on earth can they justify having more gaps in instruction in classes like math after all of the losses these kids have had?  Ask any teacher at Wilson right now if they think this is a good approach...and then ask the same teacher if DCPS has asked them for their input on this policy... [/b][/quote]
