[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th graders results say "8th grade" in the corner of the test. Is the theory here that he was supposed to take the 7th grade test?[/quote]

In the right corner it gives the current grade level and in the left corner it should say which test was given.[/quote]
We just got our 8th grader's.

Wow..  really really bad.

94% "approaching expectations" Algebra -- 5% met; 1% exceeded
68% approaching 7th grade ELA - only 28% met ; 4% exceeded.

DC had gotten straight As during VL last year.

Totally abysmal. Who said there was little learning loss.

DC now 8th grade taking Geometry and getting straight As. But I'm really concerned that DC's Algebra knowledge (which is the foundation for upper level math) is really really weak.

What is MCPS going to do about that?  I guess I'll have to put DC in summer school for Algebra.

Total cluster f*[/quote]

We got ours too but they both got the top score. I guess making them attend class during the pandemic helped. [/quote]

Don’t you get it?  Scores were low globally.  That’s bad for everyone. You want everyone in Maryland to do well, not poorly. They will now have to spend more effort on remediation, which is terrible for your kid. [/quote]

This might make mcps think twice before reverting to virtual next time something happens . MCPS robbed our kids of learning and social emotional growth. I know parents here will flame me and counter with but my kidd learned and that must be poor parenting on your part etc.. but it is the truth. Our kids were robbed of 2 years of their childhood[/quote]
+1 And to the smug ^^PP.. my kid attended class *everyday*, but DC gets migraines, so couldn't look at the screen a lot of days without puking up their guts and spending the entire day in bed.  So F*OFF.  When they went hybrid, I begged the school to let DC go FT rather than half, and they didn't even bother replying back to me.

My kids are normally straight A students.[/quote]

Then, you get your kid a tutor or tutor them yourself.  And, lots of new  migraine medications on the  market if the traditional ones don't work.  Screens daily are not triggering the migraines.  She has a health issue that you  need to get treated.  There are 6 new preventatives and three new abortive out on the market on top of the triptans and other off use medications.[/quote]

My kid did better in DL. It seems like for every student that had issues there were two that loved it.[/quote]

DL for many  kids requires a lot of parent support.  This child is not getting support not only with their academics but medical issues.  If this child had such bad headaches you'd consider some of the mediations, especially  at least a triptan which has been around for many  years.  This sounds either made up or a parent who doesn't believe their child.[/quote]
