[quote=Anonymous]I’m disgusted but after surveying the parents at Madison, I realized most parents don’t care enough. I don’t know why. Maybe academics are not a priority to them. The school actively discourages kids from taking honor and AP classes, even for those kids that have always excelled academically. Most people that I’ve spoken to that are unhappy are worried about repercussions if they complain. I worry about that too. Our kids are being robbed of an opportunity to learn material, work hard, be tested on that material and do well then get the satisfaction of knowing that they worked hard to learn something and it paid off. Plus, they will go to college and be expected to know material that other students will have already learned in high school, so at a disadvantage from day 1. I studied with my kid for a unit (that I have taught) only for DC to tell me none of what we studied was on the test![/quote]
