OP, I think MCPS has to start somewhere and yes, it will be a roller coaster ride for the first cohort of kids and teachers but that is the nature of a field test. The teachers have to grow into their new roles just like anyone starting a new job/responsibilities. Also, MCPS will most like have some sort of appeal process for students that didn't take the test.  If not, I think parents have the right to contact their school and advocate on behalf of their kids that did not take the Cogat. [/quote]

I agree. I think that a lot of the complaints on DCUM go like this:

1. The current situation is bad.
2. Any change from the current situation is bad.

But as you say, it has to start somewhere.[/quote]

the current situation is unprecedently bad. [/b]Common Core, curriculum 2.0, dropping ability tracking, only focusing on bottom students, 3+ computer MAP tests a year. Bad. embarassingly bad. I really hope the AdComs at universities don't read DCUM. [/quote]

"Even the future used to be better," as the German comedian Karl Valentin said.

But ok, let's say that the current situation is unprecedentedly bad. So why are you opposing attempts to change it?[/quote]
