[quote=Anonymous][quote]What do you mean by this -- teachers can't make Pearson materials available to parents? [b]If your child completed a worksheet or test with his/her name on it, then it's an educational record subject to FERPA, whether or not Pearson created it. The school might not send it home, and instead require you to come to school to see it, and/or require you to sign a non-disclosure form.[/b] Schools even have to do this for major standardized tests (whether created by Pearson or whoever) like the MSA, etc.

If you're talking about curriculum materials created by Pearson, then that's true, curriculum materials aren't subject to FERPA because they're not attached to any one student, so they're not educational records. And, I think that's a really big problem because parents don't actually know what their student is doing. [/quote]

...for the purposes of maximizing education for our young one needs the services of lawyers to find out what our children are doing in math in order that we as parents can help them.

This lack of transparency from the top down is preposterous.  I suspect the Board of Education and MCPS are equally nontransparent about how they spend the tax payers money ($1.2 billion/yr for the school system).  Time to look under the hood with our own lawyers!!![/quote]
