[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So one of my kids is in summer school because they failed a math class. Today was the first day. Came home and said, I did all the work in the chromebook and don't have to go back until July 11. Um, what? They said the teacher taught for the first ten minutes then they opened their chromebooks and did the units online. Showed me their awesome scores on all the units -- 80%, 100%, 85%. Strange since they were there because they had failed the class. I said, how is it that you understand enough to work ahead like that? If you understand all that, why did you FAIL in the first place? Shrugs, then says they'd be ahead another day if they hadn't spent so much time talking to the other kids in the class. Wait, so you all have chromebooks open to do work and are allowed to talk to each other? HELLO -- THEY ARE CHEATING!!!! Some kid was probably googling all the questions and passing the answers around.

I CANNOT BELIEVE this is what MCPS is offering students who are doing poorly. These are kids who need to be shown that spark, to want to learn -- who NEED TO BE TAUGHT BY A REAL TEACHER, one who gives a crap. Why doesn't MCPS just let them do the work online at home if that's what passes for teaching in summer school?

I am so so so disappointed. I thought summer school would make a difference. My child is not learning a damn thing in MCPS and doesn't care at all about learning. What a joke MCPS has become.[/quote]

It sounds like your kid probably knows their stuff but was distracted at school. Fortunately, chrome books make it easy to stay focus on the work. Your probably very lucky to be in this class.[/quote]
