[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the direction of MCPS.  HS "honors" is basically for below level, on level and slightly above level.

Some people in MCPS decided that the "regular" classes demographics didn't look good so shoved everyone into "honors". Tada.. achievement gap closed.  NOT.

The same thing is now happening in MS.

Even if your kid decides to take AP classes in HS, they won't have been prepared by the MS, which is now solely focused on social/emotional learning.

It sucks.[/quote]

This was our MS experience at a different MS.

Basically zero academic challenge, except for the one advanced Math class.  English was SO unbearably bad.

They do focus on Social/Emotional learning, but that basically entailed random r discussions about BLM and reading books by Kendi during advisory.  [/quote]
yes, and my DC told me that nobody cares or pays attention to the social emotional crap they talk about in class.  Have these administrators ever deal with MSers?  No MSer wants to talk about their feelings in class.  DC told me they'd get laughed at and bullied.[/quote]

Oh yes.  Luckily DC has a pretty chill teacher who would mostly not make them do the Community Circles and other nonsense.  Sometimes they'd just do homework, sometimes they'd play cards, but mostly they'd just play on their phones all period.  [/quote]
