[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like our school has all 4th graders taking ELC this year. Anyone else?[/quote]

So glad they're [b]raising expectations for everyone and demanding a higher standard from all students![/b][/quote]

+1000 [/quote]

Except that usually means lowering the standard to be sure the teaching is accessible to everyone. Teachers are pretty required to pass the kids so they have to find a way.[/quote]
+1000 Unfortunately at MCPS, “advanced” for all, in practice, results in remedial for all, because the standards is lowered so that all can pass.[/quote]

Oh you must be at one of the bad schools then. Advanced for all is just that at ours. It's amazing.[/quote]

When my kid was in advanced for all they brought home info about an english project.  It appeared to be a research paper!  Wow..I did not think MCPS actually assigned them.  Then I learned my child was only doing steps 1 and 2.  Pick a topic.  Write three notes from an on line source.  No time for the other ten steps.  This was a W feeder (though not recently)[/quote]
