[quote=Anonymous]I live in Montgomery County and I am flabbergasted at how impossible it has been to schedule meetings to actually see my child's unit tests as well as her mid-term exams.  My child took several 2 hour exams (2 of which she did quite poorly on) and I think it would be beneficial for her to know what she got wrong so she can prepare better in the future.  The exams were not reviewed in class and I get conflicting information of whether or not the exams are even at the school anymore.  All I get is that they are held "in a secure location" but some staff members say they are now offsite and some staff members say they are on site for the next 2 weeks, then they go somewhere else.  Where?  That's a big secret.

I have been trying for 2 weeks to schedule a meeting and I keep getting passed from Principal, to Assistant Principal, to Resource Teachers, to Counselors, and still no meeting scheduled.  Totally dysfunctional.  I am trying to be a caring, responsible parent but I do have my limits and I cannot take off multiple days at work to have individual meetings just to see the exams one at a time.  I also should not have to email and coordinate with 14 staff members to get a time period lined up to see these records.

Why doesn't MCPS give children an opportunity to learn from their mistakes?  Provide kids an opportunity to see what they did well on but also see what they can improve on.  Why can't kids and parents have these documents?  The mid-term exams would be great review documents for the finals in June because the finals are cumulative.[/quote]
