| Forget elementary: what happens when a high schooler fails one of the math MCAPs? What is the point of even giving grades during the year if we are now going to become Britain with high stakes testing??? |
I thought DCUM wanted to get finals back. Add some rigor to school. |
DCUM wants things to complain about. For instance, one week it's grade inflation... Next week it's my kid got a B in Spanish these classes are too hard! |
You libs just want to pretend you are British. These ‘exams’ are nothing more than the Maryland State Superintendent trying to get Biden’s attention (and change the direction of his commute from route 50 Annapolis to Route 50 DC. There is no rigor left in MCPS. All political posturing from our Oxbridge wanna be. Watch though - he will get it. This dude will be next Secretary of Education.This is the demographic Dems have a hard on for..: https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/13sdoe/html/msa18304.html#:~:text=MOHAMMED%20CHOUDHURY%2C%20State%20Superintendent%20of%20Schools&text=State%20Superintendent%20of%20Schools%20since,School%20Safety%20Subcabinet%2C%202021%2D. |
Right-wing activist groups constantly post here, trying to gin up resentment and support for their bankrupt ideology. They're are especially against anything resembling education since an educated voter won't fall for their nonsense. |
I am British and I have no idea what you are talking about. |
Lol. You must have left school at 16. A and o levels, now called GCSE. Nice try though at being obtuse. |
Something tells me that you aren't too plugged into actual education. |
I took GCSEs and A levels. Nothing in your prior post mentioned them. Again, what are you talking about??! Why would you think that *I* am the one being obtuse? Strange person. |
I got my 7th graders for the one they took at the end of 6th today. Apparently scored 838 in Math and 806 in Reading. They said this is a 4/4 so I guess they're doing well. |
It makes sense because informed voters hurt the GOPs' chances of clinging to power. |
Which middle school and what were the average? Those are very high scores. |
Must be one of those Wealthy Potomac Schools that person always cites that fast track kids into algebra in 5th grade or something. |
MS is TPMS and just a regular in-boundary student. |
MCAP tests grade-level appropriate material so no real advantage to the acceleration offered by the wealthy Potomac schools at least in this context. |
