[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It truly amazes me that this has been going on for 10 pages.  Ask your kids' teacher for the score and move it.  It's really not that serious to warrant 10 pages and constantly pinging of ParentVue.[/quote]

It truly amazes me as well. [b]But I did ask her, and she doesn't have the scores either.[/b] Now what do you suggest? I ask because you seem to experience yourself as knowledgeable on this topic. [/quote]

Is this teacher with MCPS? [b]Yes, we can access the scores and print them for parents.[/b] I printed MAP scores for all of my parent/teacher conferences.

At my school, some teachers have been using/hoarding crazy amounts of copy paper. As a result, teachers now receive one pack of copy paper every 3 or 4 weeks. I think it’s every four weeks. Anyway, I used this paper to copy all of the MAP information for parents (after reading it wasn’t available on ParentVue here on DCUM). I did have a few parents tell me they already had their child’s scores though…not sure what to make of that [/quote]

I am a DP and also asked my kid's teacher for this and they declined. They also weirdly discussed the results with the laptop conspicuously turned away from us during the conference. It was super bizarre. Maybe this is normal behavior in MCPS but it felt so weird to be discussing documents we didn't have, couldn't be given and couldn't even have a glimpse of.[/quote]

This is clearly a teacher issue.  They could have made a slide with the information.  Score, growth percentile, and answered any questions about particular strands.  This is what our teachers did during virtual conferences.[/quote]

Insane to waste masses of teachers' time to copy out standardized test result data that should be published fully automatically via computer [/quote]

At our school this seems to be a principal issue. My impression was the teacher was following a rule set by someone above her. Our school explicitly tells parents to come prepared to ask teachers questions at the conference. The teachers do not prepare slides or any other information.[/quote]

So your teachers just show up with a smile?  No info to share about your student, their performance, and not even a work sample to show what they mean?  I've had kids in three different school system in two different states and including public and private.  I've done conference in person and virtual and have never had a teacher show up that unprepared.  Even in MS where it was round robin and crazy, the teacher had an accordion file for each of their classes.

The conference that annoyed me was the HS counselor.

Maybe I've just been blessed with good teachers for conferences, and I certainly thank them for the efforts and work.  But if you're not getting anything unless you ask questions,  then as has been stated, this is a teacher and principal issue and you should absolutely bring it up. [/quote]

It's very clear this is how they do it for the whole school. ES in Silver Spring. It's ridiculous. It's not my job to fix their incompetence. I come prepared, get what I can from the conference and supplement at home.[/quote]
