This is another example of how MCPS is penalizing high-achieving students. And for what?  If this comes from Central Office, where they know very well what type of test this is, I bet it's to reduce the achievement gap!!!

Scandalous.

Before you go all nuclear, you might want to clarify in what way MCPS is "penalizing" your student by not giving the test correctly.  If they are trying to not use up endless class time with individual test-taking, that has some value.  If they are using those MAP scores as a significant factor in magnet selection/cohort analysis, then whether they are doing it correctly may matter.  It may not "penalize" any students, it may lead to a needless data imperfection in the selection of 3rd and 5th graders for programs, it may still give the teacher the information they need that the student has mastered the content the teacher has been teaching.  Anyway, I think anyone who is going to follow up on this with their school, should know what they mean by "penalizing high-achieving students."  Because while it may result in inaccurate data, it's not entirely clear how that inaccurate data would "penalize" anyone.[/quote]
