I'm the PP whose son is getting his butt kicked.  We are in Maryland, but not MCPS.  We have differentiated classes, although not as many as I'd like (it would be nice to have some in Science / SS also).  I didn't realize that [b]MCPS calls its entire curriculum "advanced."  [/b]That explains a lot!  [/quote]

MCPS doesn't. Some of the schools in the fancy-pants areas of Montgomery County have decided to do this, presumably because in Lake Fancy-Pants Montgomery County, all of the children are above average.[/quote]
I did check the MCPS MS course bulletin and there is supposed to be advanced and non-advanced versions of these classes.  However, I'm pretty sure I'm in the non-fancy-pants section of the county and our school offers only advanced with no ability grouping.  E.g. 16 sections of Advanced World History 6 and no regular world studies.  They also have 16 sections of PE 6, so the entire sixth grade is in Advanced World History.  Same goes for Science and English except that there are some sections of ability grouping in English.[/quote]
