LOL - I wouldn't arrive at this conclusion based on the few kids in MD who took their exam. It was only given to a few kids in Baltimore county, not MCPS.

No, they've moved past 19th-century educational practices and no longer use scrolls either. They now use this thing called the internet for most classes.

Yes, they have paperback workbooks.

Do they use a math textbook for geometry and higher?

My kid is in Geometry now, and they don't have textbooks assigned to them, but I saw on BTS night that they did have them available on a bookshelf in the classroom.

It depends on the class, but generally no. For I think Algebra they had it. When we had the workbooks they never used them.

At our school, the assignments are all online via canvas. They could be using a textbook but the material is all online so doubt they want to lug one of those around since there would be no point.

No idea what they're using, but it sure is awesome!

My kids took Alg and Geometry in MS, and I don't recall if they had textbooks, but my DC in HS who took AP BC calc last year did have a textbook that they kept at home.

Where did you read that it was only Baltimore kids who took it?

Nice try. NAEP is the Nations report card and gathers a sample from all counties, not just Baltimore. MCPS is the largest district in Maryland and thus is a part of the Maryland NAEP score. Excellent marks for obfuscation.

Do you know any MCPS schools or kids who took the test? Around 2000 students took the test and they were mostly around the Baltimore area, for at least the last ten years.

Except for the Luddites, who can't wrap their head around the idea that things like Kindle books exist.
