[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaways were they’re going to bring in experts, more teacher training, and engage with the community. So yeah, basically more of nothing. [/quote]

It would be nice if they could pivot to education and focus on reading and math. [/quote]

Interestingly, they continue to fall short despite how much time they dedicate to math and reading at the elementary level.

They need to group by ability and switch classrooms for math and reading.

One of my kids was lucky enough to be placed in a “smart kid” cohort for grades 3-5 where the entire class is accelerated for math and reading. Class size is smaller than the others. I suspect mcps is studying them but im not sure. Anyway, that kid has received a far superior education than my others who weren’t in such a cohort. Instead they received the allegedly accelerated curriculum while shifting through groups within the same classroom as the teacher struggled to meet the needs of kids at various levels…which serves no one well.

Our school dedicates almost 0 time to reading and math unless you're below grade level. My kid gets a reading group maybe once every 2-3 months. They seem to be only concerned with the achievement gap and nothing else. I feel I'm completely responsible for teaching these things and the school can't be expected to do anything.[/quote]

What school? Or what pyramid? [/quote]

This is most common in areas with greater SES diversity, but it is the new normal in early ES at those schools.[/quote]
