[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the Sherwood situation is because an ELL program is being phased out and the students are being told they have to return to their home schools.[/quote]

MCPS is just now telling the families and students? Is that what's best for the kids?[/quote]
Attending the home school is not a hardship. If the program was under-enrolled and they couldn't offer as much as was available at home schools, then yes, that is what is best for kids.[/quote]

From what I’ve read, it’s about 40 SENIORS who were informed that they will now have to attend their home school. These are students who have been part of this ELL program for the past few years. These are students who are part of the school community, participate in sports/extra curricular activities at the school, have relationships with staff and students, etc. The program was being phased out, but from what I understand these students were told they would be allowed to stay for their senior year. That’s now been taken away. These students generally don’t have parents who are squeaky wheels. Who is advocating for them? How is this what’s best for these kids?  From what I’ve read (from teachers from this school), these seniors were notified this week about this abrupt change. This is the reason for some staff being involuntarily transferred. [/quote]

It is interesting that this is the population and program they chose. MCPS touts equity, but this seems like it would cause the least headaches for them from the parent population. [/quote]
