[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Einstein HS 9th grader registered for next year’s classes today and told me — surprise to her — the school is taking away “Pre-IB English” and is getting rid of regular English — so everyone, regardless of ability or motivation, will be grouped together in classes dubiously named “Honors English.” Einstein has an International Baccalaureate program in 11th & 12th and the pre-IB classes (a step up from honors) were supposed to prepare students for IB.

Honors for All in Middle School was a disaster. Does anyone know about this? Is this a new MCPS policy? [/quote]

It's so wonderful to see this true vision of equity realized where all students are advanced![/quote]

There are two ways to eliminate the achievement gap; [b]make everything so easy that everyone passes[/b], or make everything so hard that everyone fails.  Obviously only the first is viable, so that’s where we’re going.[/quote]

As an MCPS parent, it seems pretty clear that this is the path that MCPS is choosing.  It is discouraging and does all kids a disservice to lower expectations.

And it’s unfortunate, because it pushes some families out of the public school system.  Which, in turn, weakens the school system as a whole.  [/quote]
