[quote=Anonymous][quote]Can't understand how mcps expects better performance when students do not receive hw or test corrections. Insufficient feedback hampers likelihood of improvement.[/quote]

I'm disgusted that now the latest great idea from MCPS is well if we keep failing lets just not have the test. This is hiding the problem rather than solving it. MCPS is far more concerned with the public embarrassment of failing the test than whether kids actually understand math. Pathetic.

I agree with the previous poster that if you never give kids back their tests and don't correct mistakes the student will not be able to improve. It also robs the student of any ability to guide their own improvement. It hides poor test question construction as no one but the MCPS staffers ever get a chance to really look at it.

MCPS goes far beyond any school system that I have ever seen in hiding tests. Its 100% against sound educational practices and driven by sheer laziness to not have to recreate tests or ever be answerable to students/parents who later realize when they actually get to review the test that the test creator screwed up. Classic MCPS - reduce our workload and reduce any chance that people have evidence that we are morons. Well, good job yet again MCPS. [/quote]
