[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I’d have to say that some of the students’ work was remedial, at best. Probably most of them had limited English skills. I’m talking about the inability to write a complete sentence or spell common basic words. Very very low level — what you might expect from a kindergartener or first grader with not much imagination or interest. These students need more intensive help at their English proficiency level or capability. And students who have advanced skills need something different. MCPS tracks for math starting in ES. Why are they doing this? [b]Some sort of attempt at “equity”? This makes no sense and benefits no one[/b]. [/quote]

This. If they differentiate in MS, you basically have a segregated school with kids separated by race.

[b]This way, MCPS can say 100% of kids are in Advanced English by 6th grade.

MCPS cares about optics, and positive press, first and foremost.  Not about what is best for our kids.  [/quote]

Can you show us where they have ever said that...?[/quote]

Can you give us one good reason why 6th grade English is called Advanced English, when there is no other (non-advanced) option for 6th graders?[/quote]
