[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school rotates two CM classrooms along with two classrooms participating in the new ELC program. My son was just complaining this morning that some of the kids in class can not keep up and wonders why they are there because last year "they were in the lower groups" while in  regular 3rd grade math. Sad that he is frustrated with CM because they cannot move faster because MCPS feels the need to try and bolster their Math numbers at the cost of the children.[/quote]

MCPS just can't win. If they don't accelerate lots of kids, that's bad. If they do accelerate lots of kids, that's bad too.[/quote]
DP... if they accelerate a child who is not ready for it, then yes, it's bad.  Why are they doing it?  [b]Parents complaining a lot that their kid can do it, even if they really can't? [/b] Administrators want to push URM kids who aren't ready into it to make the URM numbers look better?  IDK.  But, in either case, it's not helping the student.[/quote]

Yes. Are you new to DCUM? When MCPS was doing a lot of accelerating, parents complained on DCUM that MCPS was pushing their kids. When MCPS was going to maybe stop accelerating, parents complained on DCUM that MCPS was holding back their kids. When MCPS went back to accelerating, but limited, parents complained on DCUM that MCPS was holding back their kids. Now MCPS is accelerating more, parents are complaining on DCUM that MCPS is pushing their kids and that MCPS is holding back their kids.

Now, why did you bring up "URM" kids? [/quote]
