Another comprehensive critique of benchmark. Sigh.

May I suggest we send the decisionmakers to observe a handful of local Catholic schools—including those that cater to black and brown students—so they can learn what works? [/quote]

Isn't the reason they can't get rid of the benchmark something related to getting some ESL version of it?[/quote]

Yes.

And is that a reason why all students should suffer?

The prior links highlight how multiple jurisdictions were hoodwinked into purchasing this terrible product as a silver bullet for esl students BUT the reality is it doesn’t actually work for ESL kids either. So why are we using it???????

Hold mcps accountable. [/quote]

I reviewed the curricula that were submitted last year and the one that most people liked and was quite rigorous had programs in English and Spanish. [/quote]

This is so distressing to hear that MCPS passed on a good alternative.  Do you know why?  I can't tell at this point if it's pure incompetence that MCPS sticks with crappy curricula or something more corrupt.[/quote]
MCPS? Must be corruption. (per DCUM common knowledge)[/quote]
They're probably waiting on Discovery Education to offer curriculum 3.0.[/quote]
