[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a MCPS issue it’s a U.S. issue because we want to test and measure every little thing which takes time away from actual instruction.  Parents want Mercedes level education but want to pay Hyundai standard level prices.  Education requires investment in teacher training, teacher salary, and in actual schools and students.  Further, schools do WAAY more than just focus on education including feeding and connection with social services for kids.  They have unfounded mandates like I.D.E.A.

When we remove the politics of the above and address them as though our population matters, we’ll see change.  Until then, people will continue complaining and believing that Charter schools or Private schools can be the answer, only to determine that’s not a panacea. Hi

The amount of testing isn't that much and it gives a baseline as to where kids are at.  We found the testing helpful depending on the test.  I like the MAP testing and I liked the PARCC.[/quote]
