[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Objectively high school is incredibly easy. The people who don’t well refuse to study do homework etc. I knew very smart people who did poorly because they didn’t bother trying but as they got older their work study ethic improved . [/quote]

This is the sort of topic that brings out the ignorance and unkindness in people. Prime example here. High school is not incredibly easy.   Many kids struggle even if they study and do homework. Add to that language barriers in both student and family and also the stress of financial concerns. While there is a set of kids who have an incredibly easy time in high school, it is definitely not the norm. [/quote]

Students struggle because they want to do well. If they just want to pass, it is not hard  - "incredibly easy" may be a bit exaggerating, but certainly not hard.[/quote]high school, especially on level or remedial is simple. Compare high school to taking the bar exam . Which is much harder ?[/quote]

If you moved to Sweden at age 15 and had three years to master Swedish, make enough money to help pay rent, and take care of your younger siblings, do you think that would be “not hard”? The cultural and linguistic transition and the economic needs are a huge deal.[/quote]

Needing to make money at age 15, is not a problem for the MCPS. It is mainly a problem from the parents. If you really want to put this as a problem for the society, it can be discussed but it is NOT a problem for the school system to solve.
