[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are knew to MCPS in 3rd grade. My child has excellent reading skills but the school testing says the kid is below grade level which makes no sense. I talk to the teacher and the Benchmark tests are on computers. My child has never taken a test on a computer. There was a section of the test that required them to type out a paragraph response. My child is 8 and doesn’t know how to type. It is not an accurate test of reading skills and not developmentally appropriate. I’m totally dumbfounded that this is how kids are assessed. [/quote] I’m sorry, but per Mcps curriculum all children must quickly learn to type since their goal is to provide a certain kind of education aimed at equipping the next generation of administrative assistants and worker bees.
