[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guidance that came out today said students needed to have scored in the 90th percentile on MAP-M in the fall or winter, earned A's on their report cards and scored at a level 4 or 5 on their required Eureka assessments over the course of the year.  This is going to weed a lot of kids out of moving on to 5/6.  [/quote]
This does not seem onerous. It actually sounds like a continuation of the current/previous policy.

A whole thread of nonsense. [/quote]

No, it’s not. My 4th grader has never been in the 90th percentile on the MAP M. They’ve scored b/w 60 - 88 over the course of testing but got As this year and was challenged but not burdened by the pace of compacted 4/5. This means that he won’t continue in compacted math. [/quote]
And perhaps he shouldn't continue compacted math. It's not the right path for every kid. [/quote]

He earned As every single quarter. Why from a research and data-grounded educational perspective is this not the right path? [/quote]
Grade inflation is rampant in MCPS. The testing is more neutral. Think about the math he'll have to take in HS - where he'll have to take it every single year. [/quote]
