[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

OK, so? Telling kids to practice at home is good teaching. Good for that teacher. Kids like yours need it. The glorification of laziness has to stop. [/quote]

Hahahaha that’s hilarious. No my magnet kids with consistent 100th percentile scores do not need it, but thanks for your “advice”![/quote]

100th percentile?  Hilarious.  If your kids are not as dumb as you, maybe you can ask them to explain to you why it is not possible to get 100th percentile.  [/quote]
