My DS scored a 101, but how do we know the impact that a lost year of in-person learning has had on test scores?

Nnat measures general ability, not specific topics.

It doesn't require reading or math skills.

It has things like patterns, shapes, etc

101 is average intelligence and nothing to be concerned about.

The impact would be seen across the board in general and should cancel out.

I am not sure how that's going to help, though. Every single Republican governor has happily used NoVA like an ATM for the rest of the state. Democrats in VA aren't much better but at least they know where their bread is buttered. I'm not convinced any Republican on the ballot cares even a tiny bit about academics in FCPS. Now, if they started talking about adjusting the LCI in NoVA's favor, I'd be all over it.

Many of us have worked very hard pestering Washington Post and other writers to get the VMPI proposal some publicity and make the candidates address it. The recent Jay Mathews article is the best example of it I can recall: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/fairfax-county-schools-math-classes-tracking/2021/04/29/197aa29c-a7a2-11eb-8d25-7b30e74923ea_story.html
Unless and until a democrat comes out firmly AGAINST the VMPI I will hold my nose and vote for republicans this election, especially locally. At least they are taking a firm stand on this. As a parent of a 1st and 3rd grader it is my most important issue right now.

I would hold my nose and vote Republican too in local and state election. Democrats are doing a great deal of damage to education.

Terry supports the VMPI.

His 1st priority in his education plan is equity.

He lists state "integration" through zoning changes as his preferred method of achieving equity.

Exactly. Even my non readers and Esol students can take the test. It is not content based and reading is not required so "a lost year of in-person learning" would have little impact. It is mostly patterns.

Are there local R candidates who talk about real issues without bringing up Trump and his "stolen" election?

All of them.

The VA candidates are focused on education.

Parents whose kids are in elementary should definitely focus on candidates who will save education. I will vote for Republican candidate for VA governor and all local elections.

That’s probably one of the only things not affected by no in person learning.

The R candidate for governor is pushing the Big Lie. FYI

What exactly are Republicans going to do for education? They usually end up de-funding public schools and pushing for vouchers.
