[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is horrible.  Basically kids from states/ counties other than MCPS that are new to MCPS will score higher because they didn't have deceleration/"let's teach everyone the exact same at the same time in math" for grades 1-3 and/or parents that prepped their kids outside of school will be the ones having a huge advantage getting into compact math.  And the decision in 3rd grade impacts math tracking all the way until high school.  In addition, this should be a test that ALL third graders take - not the "selected ones only."  This increased the achievement gap, not decreases it.[/quote]

Where do you get that idea from?

My dc, in compacted math, started in mcps at 2nd grade. Most of DC's classmates in compacted math came through mcps.   Granted, I don't know if the classmates prepped or not, but I know my DC didn't.  I'm going to guess that not a lot DC's classmates didn't prep.  They are also in HGC so, these kids are pretty bright to begin with.[/quote]
