[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok we get it, all your kids are so smart. But then explain why the most recent mcap data shows kids are way behind in math?[/quote]

Bimodal distribution thanks to pandemic. Students who relied on the schools stopped learning 3 years ago. Students whose parents took responsibility excelled. [/quote]
This again?  :roll: [/quote]
DP.  I don't have the data, but the theory would seem to fit/answer the question posed.[/quote]
You don't have the data so you're making things up to fit your narrative.

Thanks for clearing that up.[/quote]

And you have the data to show it's a bell curve?  I was just pointing out that a bimodal distribution would explain a decline in the mean without a decline in the population showing a need for acceleration.  That, if true, would answer the question.

Neither position, either that poster's (presumably based on anecdotal evidence of many from their school) or the other (possibly yours? which seems to presume the low mean score reported as indicative of decline across the spectrum with a normal distribution), is correct with certainty.  Only those with the data (MCPS) would be able to say for sure, but they don't typically report deeper stochastic analysis to the BOE/public, much less make that data (anonymized) available for others to review.[/quote]
