[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS grads think critically? A solid half can't even read. [/quote]
What a deeply stupid comment from one of the legion of ignoramus who know nothing about DCPS and schools like Walls, JR, McKinley, and Banneker and yet, like moths to a flame, can’t help coming to the DCPS forum to parade their ignorance.  [/quote]

You are extremely ignorant to what is happening in the DCPS system.  https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-students-show-major-decline-in-math-reading-since-pandemic-began/3148351/

We saw declines across all eight wards, and we saw more declines in the elementary school grades than we did in the higher grades," D.C. Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Christina Grant said.

Grant said math scores dropped significantly from 31% of students testing at grade level in 2019 to 19% testing at grade level in 2022.

Reading scores were slightly better with 31% of students testing at grade level this year. In 2019, 37% of students tested at grade level.

Please parade your ignorance here.

[b]Again, slightly over half got a 3 on PARCC exams, which equates to “approaches expectations.”  That in no way supports the idea that “2/3 of kids can’t read.[/b]”

But here you are, doubling down on PP’s juvenile snark with research.

Might be time to reconsider your life choices. [/quote]

"Approaches expectations" means that said student is performing below grade level. A system where the majority of students perform below grade level is doing something wrong. And it needs to be fixed, because it's unfair that so many kids are being pushed through the system and emerging without the skills to excel. The scores are disgraceful and claiming otherwise doesn't benefit anyone. [/quote]
