[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]March 14 @ 8:00 is the Coffee with the Principal at Wilson (see the Events section of their school website).

Parent should attend, as well as representatives of the feeder school community (Deal, Hardy, Oyster).

I find outrageous that this important plan was omitted from the presentations at the Wilson open house, at a time when we were making our choices, only to find out later , when for many it is too late for alternative school plans.

It's not only that I have legitimate concerns for my son's 9th grade learning experience and for his unwillingness to  go through, once again, disrupted classes and learning environment geared for damage mitigation instead of focused on learning and growth. I am concerned for the longer term trends, for the next moves, e.g. cancellation of Calculus BC ? Cap to how many AP classes students can take? Even larger AP classes? We already are at 40 students per class for AP Biology.... why not 60?

I am speechless .

Give me my voucher. [/quote]

Wow, dramatic much???  :roll: [/quote]

Agree. It is TWO classes. [/quote]

It's two important classes. It can really negatively affect the overall 9th grade experience, especially if you come from a school where you already had to go through this in 6th grade (sharing classes with kids who are not interested in learning).  My son just will not want to take it again. He will not accept it when I tell him. He was ok with Wilson just because he learned that he would be separate in all classes except for social studies (and maybe Spanish).

Please note that this is not a white mom rant. The situation is worse for black high achievers or black dedicated students, due to the racial profiling, and the inter-racial bullying (the latter does not affect white students). [/quote]
