[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS does not call everything Honors now and yes there are plenty of in level classes and plenty of kids talking them (Despite what DCUM will tell you). The only place where this is absolutely a problem is English (MS and Grade 9/10). Choosing an advance SS, Science or Math is a different experience.[/quote]

Teacher here. The problem is that even when Honors vs. On-level classes exist, there is not much sorting of students going on. I was told that students can decide which class they want and if a student selects Honors, then a counselor has to give it to them, even if a student has all Es on their transcript. Many students who don’t belong in Honors pick it any way because they want to be with their friends. 
What percentage of MCPS high schools do not opt into the Honors-for-All model that is dominant in the DCC and NEC?[/quote]

Many of the posted documents on school sites still show on-level classes being offered, but in reality they will only offer the Honors class. With the exception of math, which as others have said, still often has on-level options.[/quote]

So in other words, the PP who is attempting to act like Honors-for-All isn't pervasive throughout MCPS high schools, is attempting to obfuscate and gaslight. [/quote]

Not gaslighting.  There are plenty of  science, math, and social studies classes not labeled honors or AP/IB thus they are on-level.  Just because DCUM is saying only honors classes are offered and everything below that is remedial doesn’t make it so.[/quote][/quote]
