[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math scores across the US have tanked during Covid. Math via zoom is not ideal for learning. [/quote]

Yeah. Lots of schools in DC with pretty good scores pre-COVID now have barely any kids at grade level. That's not about expectations changing or the culture, these kids are behind because they weren't in school. [/quote]

Incorrect.  Deal had 61 or 62% cohort at or above grade level pre-COVID.  No significant change.

All the other DCPS middle and non test in high school pre-COVID had math scores at or above grade level in single percentages or teens.  So no DCPS schools have horrible scores pre-COVID.  These schools scores are lower Post COVID.

Posters like above who make false statements to perpetuate or excuse the culture of low expectations in DC are part of the problem.  Or else PP above is in complete denial.[/quote]

Charters. I didn't say DCPS. In some cases, 50 plus point declines in math proficiency. The culture didn't suddenly become "low expectations." So if your explanation for low test scores is low expectations, that's your counterfactual. [/quote]

Nope.  The point above is that the scores are low to begin with representing low expectations. The worst scores are in DCPS schools.

In most schools they decline as I stated above but I never said the culture suddenly became low expectations.  It was low expectations all along as evidenced by low starting scores.[/quote]
