[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is just a lazy policy because MCPS doesn't want to change the tests each year.  They rather keep them stale and parents not informed.  But if you want to leave your job early multiple times a month so the teacher can show you the test you can.  Don't they make that convenient??  Oh and the teachers get REALLY annoyed if you ask to come in for every test you can't see.  Like we should just be okay with a little sheet that shows how many my child got right.  Oh, and make sure you don't try to write a math problem down so your child can redo it at home to help them learn.  It is not allowed.  And make sure to ask if the teacher has the kids redo the problems in the class before moving onto the next section so they can understand what they did wrong.  Most don't.  Once the test is returned for 5-10 minutes to the child, they wipe the slate clean.  [/quote]

You're a hot neurotic mess.

Be prepared to find an MD who will sign off on a diagnosis of severe anxiety for your child as you make your kid school-phobic.

tightly wound, eh?  [/quote]

I guess I am tightly wound too because I don't like the policy either. For parents like you who don't give two craps where their kids are struggling, it is no big deal. My child struggled with certain concepts and unless i physically went in and saw with my own eyes, I had no idea how to help at home. Once the material is covered, the teachers do not care who understood and who didn't.  They move on whether kids are struggling or not because they have to. I have one child in private and not only do they receive every test, quiz and project back, they must do all test corrections and returned it with a parent signature in 48hrs. I also know many people in nearby and faraway counties who also get returned tests home. Why MCPS can not do this but yet wonder why their final exams scores are horrific, is beyond me.  I guess they will just slowly get rid of all tests that kids do bad on. Should "really" help our kids in college and the real world. [/quote]
