[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank the complaining parents who said there as too much work and thanks the parents who don't require their kids to log on and do their work.[/quote]

Nope! It is called half the instructional time.  [/quote]

The omissions were approved prior to the start of the year and has nothing to do with “complaining” parents. [/quote]

Omitted for equity.[/quote]

For the sake of equity to the deliberately obtuse nitwits who can't read I will quote you what was said "The elementary mathematics curriculum is aligned to the Maryland College and Career-Ready
Standards (Common Core State Standards). [b]Content selected during the pandemic-impacted school years are prioritized based on recommendations from the Maryland State Department of
Education[/b]"

So blame the pandemic.[/quote]

Doesn't seem to be any notieable impact at our school. My 5th grader is in compacted 5/6 and is now finishing up module 4 of 6th grade math. [/quote]

Yes and the reason they've been able to get there is because they cut out some of the content from the previous modules! Do people just like to bury their heads in the sand to feel better? Even after MCPS provides documentation of the content that was omitted. [/quote]

And what these people are forgetting is that there are many students (away from this area) that attended school 5 days a week and aren't behind in anything......[/quote]

All of you misinformed people who think all the schools who went back are so far ahead are just wrong. My sister teaches at a school across the country that has been open 5 days a week since august. They’ve had to constantly shut down, switch to virtual, switch back, switch to virtual— she said that alone is extremely disruptive as kids take at least 2 weeks to fully adapt and then they end up switching again. On top of that, random classes are out due to COVID and quarantining... further disrupting, and the fact the kids are inattentive at best. They are just as behind as we are if not further. This is fairly common with friends who are teachers in other places, online forums, articles I’ve read... just because school has been in person doesn’t mean it’s been productive. I’m taking about public school which have different t resources and rules than public schools so spare me your public vs private argument bc its null. Our kids at least had a stable and consistent education provided this entire time. [/quote]
