[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When are these f$cker5 going to apologize for their incompetence? Any staff that blames parents for this travesty should be fired immediately and investigated for bribery.

[quote]The Benchmark Assessment System (BAS) is one of the most popular measures of early reading ability in American elementary schools. Teachers are supposed to use it as a checkup to see how students are progressing throughout the year. But researchers who’ve studied it say the BAS is wrong far too often to be useful. It is also more expensive for the schools and more time-consuming for the teachers to administer, according to an analysis comparing it to other tests. [b]One professor who analyzed the BAS said it was worse at identifying struggling readers than any assessment he had ever seen. [/b]That means struggling readers might be less likely to get the help they need before they fall even further behind their classmates.[/quote]

And by the way, our MCPS school is STILL sending BS Benchmark books home. Yes, in fall 2024. Instead of finding something useful to do with them, like burning them to heat buildings, they are sending them home to further inculcate bad reading habits.[/quote]

Staff are blaming parents for kid’s behavior.  Behavior that is making the learning environment untenable for all.  It doesn’t matter what curriculum or strategies are being used now if teachers are spending more time managing behaviors than teaching.[/quote]

Omg, EVERYTHING is somebody else's fault in MCPS. Jfc[/quote]

Is behavior not a parent issue?[/quote]
