[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know why "flipped classrooms" were designed. I also know they are not being used in the same way there were designed because kids are not doing their own work. [/quote]

Even in DC's magnet classes, the pct of kids with NIH and academic parents is very small. Not nearly enough to be "the reason," as you claimed earlier, for implementing flipped classrooms. Now you're backtracking a bit, but you're still wrong.

You clearly don't understand much about the college application process, so it's a shame you're here offering your 1 cent. You started this thread because of your ignorance that colleges' regional reps compare rigor among high schools all the time, as their standard practice. You also didn't know that colleges look at unweighted GPAs and often re weight them.

I think you're a thinly disguised racist, and I say that as a white person.[/quote]

Wow! Somebody is defensive. I actually know what I am talking about and it bothers you because you hate that it is true and kind of confuses your grand plan.

I also know about the athletic index. [b]I know all sorts of things I have not mentioned in my posts above.[/b]

Flipped classroom is not beneficial if it takes away from class discussion, which it will if they are all working on projects so the teachers can actually grade the student instead of the team behind the student. Pretending that paid tutors and parents are not helping kids just shows you have your head in the sand or you are angry about being called out.

The racist person is the one that immediately assumes the parents doing their children's homework are Asian, I never said they were Asian, you just assumed it. Shame on you.

Read the original study not the lame article and educate yourself (unless you are busy editing your child's papers.)[/quote]

My "grand plan"? I'm supposedly editing papers ... in subjects I don't understand (I don't have a science degree)?

Now you've changed your argument some more, and you're now arguing that flipped classroom in-school projects are predominantly "group projects"? Huh? Where's your data? I'll bring mine: my HS kid only has one flipped classroom this year, but I'm sure that 95% of in-class work is done on an individual basis (I want to say 100% is done on an individual basis, but I'd have to ask him) and, if he doesn't finish in class, he brings it home to finish it on his own.

Congratulations on knowing lots of things, though.  ;)

I smell a troll. Or a bored teenager - MCPS is on a professional day today.[/quote]

I agree you are not qualified to help in an AP class.

Ask you child if other students do all their work or if they have help at home. [/quote]
