[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t like how MCPS is dealing with this issue. They have decided to ration advanced instruction instead of provide it to everyone who needs it.

I personally have no problem with MCPS giving opportunity for advanced instruction to 85% kids in schools that are failing. They really do need to support those kids and get them into better environments where they can achieve their potential.

The problem is that they refuse to provide support for advanced instruction to kids like mine that is 99%.

It is possible to do both but they refuse to do it. The sense I get is that MCPS actually does not want to serve high performing students at all. I see the posts, which call them “dream hoarders”. We can all see the policies, like focus schools, where higher achieving schools are intentionally provided larger class sizes and less resources than high FARMS schools.

I’m just curious what the endgame is here. [/quote]

I feel the same.

On what planet has it become admirable to deny advanced instruction to high-performing bright kids?  Whether low income or White or Latino or Asian.  This is a wealthy school district with plenty of money.  We should be encouraging ALL students.  And MCPS should find a way to offer enriched instruction to all students who can handle the work.

With all the extra expenses need to reopen schools for in person instruction there isn't much left for things like education.[/quote]
