[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although MCPS is a crap show. I heard my, my admin, that our school is purchasing curriculum for the fall. We are purchasing Jacob's Ladders (reading enrichment). They are still deciding on math curriculum. Many schools may do their own individual thing to ensure their students are being pushed. I would provide my school but we are already overcrowded, I'm so sorry DCUM. Our PTA is also generating a letter to be sent to cluster superintendents, BOE and the state of MD. [/quote]

This has always been the case.  READ 180 is a perfect example of internal decision-making at the MS/HS level.

And I bet that even with a canned guide countywide, schools will still continue to supplement. [/quote]

So can a school PTA just purchase Singapore Math for its ES?[/quote]

I've found that if kids are achieving and parents aren't complaining, you can do whatever you want.[/quote]

And the irony is that if kids aren’t achieving, you can’t deviate at all—even if your students aren’t doing well with the status quo. Because of course it must be a teaching issue rather than a curriculum issue.

My friends who work in schools with wealthier populations have a ton of latitude to do what they want plus the money to buy it with. Those of us in schools with high FARMS rates have to stick to the script even if the script isn’t working. [/quote]
