[quote=Anonymous]After 2.0 rolled out MSA scores started dropping but MCPS made up the excuse that the new math curriculum didn't match the MSA so not to worry and scores would go up with PARCC.

HS math final exam failures rates also started soaring and MCPS tried to hide the data. Parents from Rockville had to file a MD FOIA request to release the scores.  There were news articles on the terrible failure rate. MCPS said to wait another year for 2.0 alignment and guess what -the failure rates got worse.

MCPS recommended to the BOE that they just stop giving the final exam and the BOE agreed. MCPS and the BOE said that PARCC would be the new measurement for math proficiency and exams were not needed.

Now students are failing math PARCC exams. MCPS apologists or just MCPS says that now PARCC doesn't matter because its going away. No mention of whether exams will be coming back and I'm sure MCPS does not want them back to reveal how poorly they are doing.

How many times does this school system need to fail to finally admit that it isn't teaching math??? Why doesn't anyone care?
