[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high school currently has 1,000 E grades with 50% or lower.

We are hoping this is a wake up call / FAFO moment for the students.  We’ll see.  So many students just put the bare minimum in and it has been a lifelong habit enabled by MCPS and parents.[/quote]

Students may have a poor work ethic, but to the best of my knowledge MCPS has never provided direct instruction on study/executive functioning skills. [/quote]

Why doesn’t MCPS offer a study skills/exec functioning class? Even as an elective or after school or summer school or something? [/quote]

+1 this should be a semester long required class freshman year. [/quote]

They did used to have a class like this for freshmen called Connections. This was 5-10 years ago.[/quote]

We still offer that at my HS[/quote]

Have you seen positive results from the students enrolled?[/quote]

I am still a first year teacher so i do not have enough personal experience or data to answer that question.  I imagine it works enough to keep offering it.[/quote]
