[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't we move all the high level classes from your school to put them at schools that have much less, and you see how your kids feel when they don't have access to the classes they want.[/quote]

The new plan seeks to ensure that the same core set of advanced classes are offered at every single high school in the county. That is a good thing. We should all work together to make sure MCPS actually delivers, and maybe exceeds?, on this instead endless and pointless fighting. [/quote]

Clearly you aren't paying attention.  Those core classes are the basic classe all schools aready have so saying that is a joke.  And, those classes are not equal to what is at your school.  So, by your arguement, we should cut out all classes except those core classes and everyone will be happy?[/quote]

Maybe there are certain classes that should be added to the core set? That is fine. Let's do it. More investment in advanced classes at every school will serve the most kids. It doesn't have to be us v them[/quote]

I'm so glad you have given the go ahead but many people have already asked for this. MCPS is not doing it.[/quote]

Oh ffs I was agreeing with you that students shouldn't have to travel from
their home school to access a core set of advanced classes. You just don't want to hear it and would rather score points.[/quote]

Saying "that's fine" implies your permission is needed and you're not an elected official. It's a bizarre, condescending way to to respond to concerns that have gone unaddressed for many years.[/quote]

They aren’t commenting without having any idea of what’s actually going on.  They have it all so it’s hard to consider how vastly different the schools are in terms offerings.  The core offerings are what is available now.  Not helpful.  [/quote]

Clearly not since one of the main complaints is that advanced science classes are not offered at all the schools.  So the PP's point is valid that part of the push should be to define what exactly is the core offerings including AP classes that all schools will venture to offer each year.  Certainly things can fluctuate each year by interest.[/quote]
