[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC’s 6th grade math teacher sent out an email about ixl. Urging parents and students to practice skills in order to increase their MAP M scores. FWIW my DC is in AMP 7+. Not sure if this is a common behavior to email parents about an upcoming MAP testing and asking them to practice ixl. Do teachers have any incentive here? Why so much focus on MAP scores for 6th graders in AMP 7+ when they all will land in Algebra 1 next year anyway. This is the first time I have come across this. DC is mu 3rd child going through the same middle school. Is there something I am missing??[/quote]

You’re not missing anything. That teacher is out of line. They should not be urging your kids to practice or prepare and that is bound to lead to anxiety for both kids and parents. The teacher is motivated by showing improvement that they will claim is due to their teaching.[/quote]

Our middle school gives kids tickets for the number of hours they spend on IXL that can be exchanged for toys and treats from the school store. Admins are telling teachers in all subjects to push IXL because they have data that shows it boosted test scores and they don’t have time to go back and teach things from 4th grade math that got skipped during the pandemic.[/quote]
