[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this OP illustrates a lot of the challenges MCPS is dealing with:

1. The danger of a little bit of knowledge - Mclass and MAP are not measuring exactly the same skill set, and Mclass is arguably a more nuanced tool than MAP for determining reading group.

2. Parents overly invested in student ranking

3. Parent using private tutors to push a pretty normal kid ahead, and then complaining that they weren't able to buy their way into the desired ranking

4. Using private tutors and then complaining that MCPS isn't willing to teach beyond the curriculum just because parents moved their child more quickly by paying for that curriculum to be delivered on an expedited basis[/quote]

You must be a teacher or administrator at my kid's school. At my kid's ES you were a crazy helicopter parent if your child was more advanced than the curriculum. A troublemaker if you wanted them to get harder work. Really just getting in the way of the real job, closing the achievement gap.[/quote]
