Fayette County Schools – touted in the letter as the poster child of the detracking movement ….. is in fact triple tracked. Nearly every core 9th-10th grade course includes honors courses as well as college prep and AP…. yes… even in Chemistry which is specifically noted in the levelling article.

I checked on this myself today after hearing about it at the chat at the high school yesterday. Anyone can check it out by looking at the course offerings on Fayette County Schools’ website or just giving the central office a call. I dare the author of this blog to do the same… No, actually I double dog dare ya!

This is a major misstatement. If it is not corrected after CSD has been alerted to it.. it becomes a lie. Either Fayette was never detracked or they were detracked and decided that it was a bad idea so they changed. Anyway – CSD should look into it and revise the website accordingly if they want to maintain their credibility.

Also, CSD should take the time to explain the differences between Rockville Centre’s school district and ours. They have very different student populations so to compare us to them is like comparing apples to oranges.
