[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont kids still have to request/sign up for the honors course? Doesn’t this essentislly select the hard working kids anyway? Or are you saying every class is just given a fake advanced packet? [/quote] No, they don't. Honors has become the default in many MCPS high schools in the name of equity, as the WSJ article articulates.[/quote] but by many I mean none since it isn't the default but I love to exaggerate [/quote] It is the default, starting with next year's freshman class. Proof: Here is are the options for 9th graders at Montgomery Blair: English 9 Honors is the only option. https://sites.google.com/mcpsmd.net/mbhscoursebulletin/english-language-arts?authuser=0 At Whitman, same deal. Honors English 9 is the only option if you are a rising 9th grader, unless you are an ELL. https://sites.google.com/mcpsmd.net/wwhs-counseling/academics/registration-course-selection [/quote]
