[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before my kid started MCPS I used to not fully understand all the complaining. But we are only 1.5 years in and I just can't with these people. This is all just a huge, expensive distraction from the reality that they are graduating a large majority of kids not graduate proficient in math and reading.[/quote]

Yep - how much is this regional disaster going to cost us?

And in the meantime, the school district is writing its own English Language Arts curriculum for high schools. You might have wondered why that refrigerator curriculum looked haphazard and cast such a low bar. Why can't we buy externally developed and externally evaluated curriculum as the Maryland Blueprint requires? Because we are spending untold millions on implementing up to 100 ill-designed regional programs that will also utilize homemade curriculum.[/quote]

The refrigerator curriculum makes the HS English curriculum look better than it is. It implies that students are reading all of the anchor texts, when in fact they are reading just one - and these are sometimes graphic novels that can be read cover-to-cover in under an hour.[/quote]
