[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virtual middle college and middle college were designed to funnel more students into MC as community college enrollment has been declining.
The goal is to help MC stay afloat more than it is to benefit students [/quote]

Hopefully you’re aware that MC is a nonprofit.[/quote]

If MC provides classes that MCPS won't, or provides them cheaper, and money moves from MCPS budget to MC budget to make MC look better to the Legislature, it's a win-win that defends MC from being shut down for cost-efficiency reasons.[/quote]

MC is not going to get shut down. Who even by, anyway? Good grief.[/quote]

It is not about shutting down. They have declining numbers and the push by MCPS for MC courses is directly linked to boosting MC admissions.
MC professors probably make less than MCPS teachers although I’m not 100% sure of that. The adjuncts certainly make less [/quote]

Of course the adjuncts make less. Adjuncts make less than everyone, everywhere. Similarly, college enrollment is down everywhere. What are the downsides, for anybody, if MCPS students have the possibility of enrolling in MC during high school? I can't think of any. [/quote]

[b]When you speak to students who are taking MC courses, they will tell you the quality varies widely. The classes seem to range from bad to ok for the most part. Some are good but I mostly hear kids say that classes are meh.[/b] Why are we creating all this upheaval for HS students just to shove them in lack lustre classes. Again, I’m not saying they are all bad. But for some reason, most of the reviews are so-so. I work at a HS and have asked 15-20 kids about their MC classes at this point [/quote]

That's been my kids' experience with MCPS too! Some great teachers. Some bad teachers. Most are ok.

Now, what is "all this upheaval for HS students" that you're talking about?[/quote]
