[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't object to setting a bottom baseline that schools should be accountable for the majority of students to achieve. This is original concept behind Common Core.

[b]What is shameful is that MCPS turned the bottom baseline of proficiency into a ceiling.[/b] There is a terrible cultural of anti-intellectualism and disrespect for work ethic or effort based achievement.

Education should be about providing students with an opportunity to reach their potential. The curriculum and instruction should be geared toward encouraging each child to grow to their potential. Instead we have an obsession with P (piss poor performance) being the goal and everyone is supposed to sit quietly in their chair and do nothing else. This is not learning. This is showing up day and basically performing on a test once a year to justify the existence of a bunch of incompetent educators and bureaucrats. [/quote]

Please show me one instance where MCPS has said, "Students will only learn what's required for the Common Core standards, and not one thing more."[/quote].

No multiplication in second grade. There is your one example you asked for but there are hundreds.
