[quote=Anonymous]You're painting with too broad a brush, PP. My spouse teaches at an Arlington middle school. In Arlington, students in any of the six neighborhood middle schools can take honors classes for science, social studies, English and math from the 7th grade. These cohorts are also extremely well behaved. In Arlington high schools, only students who perform well (a B+ or better) in pre AP and pre IB classes can take AP and IB classes as upperclassmen. The way DCPS continues to resists academic tracking hurts our schools. Sure, Walls is OK, but throwing your hands in the air calling it futile to push to make it better, particularly by adding feeder middle school challenge and bringing back standardized testing in the admissions process, is a copout.
