[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. According to the metric here, students will have to achieve an “Industry Recognized Credential” to demonstrate completion, even if the focus is music performance or art. What job-related certification do we give them for being a sculptor or a dancer or a trumpet player? This is the triumph of educational bureaucracy box-checking over actual education.

Meanwhile, we’re passing along and graduating kids who can barely read.

There isn’t even an audition required for these music programs! The criteria is to be a C student. What a low bar![/quote]

There is no extra funding so they aren't real music programs.[/quote]

Oh. How about for art & dance, no audition or interview of profolio as requirement? Do good college admission office care about if you graduate from art or dance or music MCPS regional program if one plan to major in these? Will HS diploma look different saying specialize or major or certificate in special interests?

Even if they have an audition or portfolio, how is it going to work?   Mcps says that it includes ap music theory, but some of the schools don’t offer it or advanced music classes.  The kids take the same classes all four years.  [/quote]
