[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if they break down data based on how long a kid has been on MCPS? My guess is that the kids that enter McPS before 1st grade actually do okay by the time they get a middle school. My guess is the lowest performing students are those that enter the system much later. Some of them might just need more years in the McPS system to catch up. Others may just be too far behind — like the 15 year olds that come from countries where they had no real education—I can’t imagine how hard it would be for those kids to catch up. [/quote] This is a great point and something people haven't mentioned yet in this thread. There used to be a program for kids who had experienced disrupted education. The goal was to get them back on track, but at one point mcps recognized that a kid who was herding goats in Guatemala six months ago could not be expected to just jump into an algebra class. Unfortunately, McKnight all but dismantled the program.[/quote]
