[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was a pretty enlightening Reddit thread. If a student is not self-motivated and high-performing, they are completely failed by MCPS schools today. It's a race to the bottom for average kids. And it's entirely caused by central office bureaucrats. Monica McKnight cannot leave soon enough.[/quote]
I just read the reddit post, and agree with all, but I don't think what's happening in MCPS started with McKnight.  It's been sliding for a while all in the name of equity.

The sad part of all this is that the system is failing the most neediest.  What happens to these types of kids once they graduate HS?   I guess it's no longer MCPS problem, so.. shrug.  As long as their numbers look good.

I have one who graduated from a magnet program in MCPS, and now at college. Doing very well.

The other is an above average student who is taking a couple of AP classes, but the rest of the "honors" classes is a joke. Such a joke.  They struggled a lot in the beginning of their AP classes because the lack of HW in the MS didn't teach them to study.  They got such easy As, and then all of a sudden, the AP classes expected more. It was too high of a leap. I had to teach DC how to study.  Luckily DC got their grades up in their AP classes.

MCPS is really doing a disservice to kids all around.[/quote]

This, for sure.  [/quote]
