[quote=Anonymous][quote]According to who? I understand spiraling curriculum, but no new material for a whole grade. That's ridiculous.[/quote] Spiraling curriculum is the stupidest thing ever and MCPS has taken it to an entirely different level. There is no research or studies that show simple repetition again and again actually helps students who didn't catch on quickly the first time around. It doesn't work but its cheap. It would require actual rigorous assessment (not everyone is always at a P and we don't have to do grading more mentality) to identify which students are ready to move on and which students need more help. Students who need more help would need actual help not just being thrown the same worksheet 50 times. The system would have to give a damn about actual student improvement not just making a bar so that the principal gets her merit reward. [/quote]
