[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Will the quality of the program suffer? I am a professor at a tier 1 university. We admit students under affirmative action. Has the quality of the academic programs changed? I would argue no, most professors teach the same content and grade accordingly. Unfortunately, a few students fail or receive D's because they are not prepared. Most earn B's and C's because the work is difficult. [/b] But this is yet another gap. MCPS does not want that gap. They must then find a way to bring everyone in the magnet to the same level...likely by lowering the bar.[/quote] Affirmative action students are also found to be more likely to major in soft subjects like sociology, majors ending in studies, etc. Not a good comparison to a STEM magnet program.
