[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with this PP.

Find a class that provides a textbook.  It made a huge difference for my kid.

My kid had gotten an A in her MCPS Algebra class but they didn’t even get through so much of the material.  It was a joke with the decreased class time.

I agree with the other PP who says that kids need a strong foundation in Algebra to move on to the other math classes.  Get your kid into a good Algebra class because MCPS is doing our kids a disservice by giving them As even when they have not mastered the material.  [/quote]
DCUM maxim: what works for my kid works for everyone's kid! 
And its corollary: what doesn't work for my kid doesn't work for anyone's kid![/quote]

I’m the PP you responded to.  Thank you for taking the time out to post a helpful remark.

If MCPS did a great job teaching your child Algebra, I am truly happy for you.  That’s great!

[b]Based on the MCAP Algebra results that I am seeing, there were a LOT of kids who fell through the cracks.[/b]

I was simply offering my kid’s experience - a textbook was beneficial for her and the MCPS class offered at her middle school was missing large chunks of information.

YMMV, of course.  That should go without saying.  [/quote]
The results you're seeing is for the state. My goodness.[/quote]

My goodness.  MCPS is THE largest public school in the state of Maryland.  If students in MCPS are not doing well, the state results will represent that.

Or are you saying that MCPS students are doing great in Algebra and it’s the ‘other’ Maryland schools districts that are dragging the state scores down?  That seems unlikely.  [/quote]
So what it's the largest? It's one out 24 school districts. MCPS is doing fine.
So ya'll deliberately trying to mislead people into thinking this is MCPS scores.

How do you know that MCPS is "doing fine"?  Can you provide the link where MCPS published the scores?[/quote]
