[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here: More or less the same situation as previous years, but we have a lot of seniors who are at risk of failing core classes/not graduating. Many of them have been enrolled in Edmentum for credit recovery (for their 3rd AND 4th quarter classes). It's alarming to think about how much money is being spent on these Edmentum courses, especially at a time when we're facing budget constraints.  Many students will likely complete the courses unsupervised with ChatGPT.

It raises the question of whether those funds would be better spent elsewhere and whether we're doing enough to teach accountability before students reach this point. Between edmentum and changing course in grading for MP4 seniors... big yikes. [/quote]
Parent here, I hadn't thought about Edmentum costs.  And I totally agree about accountability.  By embracing EdTech and not thinking through its pedagogical and assessment implications, MCPS has put itself behind the 8 ball on this.  [/quote]
