[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you meet the on-level standard in ES, you get an A. Kids who are not at grade level get a lower grade. At our school, not everyone gets an A in every class. I do think teachers spend most of their time trying to help kids who are below grade level meet the standard, but they don't succeed with everyone so there are kids who don't get all As.[/quote]

A kid with 99% on MAP in math somehow got a B in 2nd-grade math. My sense is the teacher just hands out worksheets and doesn't want to be bothered with explaining anything. [/quote]

Sounds like you arent even paying attention. Eureka is very specific. Teachers cant just grade whatever they feel like and "worksheets" arent part of the curriculum. Quizzes and tests are the only things that are allowed to be graded in MCPS for math. Maybe do some research first. [/quote]

The teacher refuses to share copies of their work and the books are kept at school. A track down a copy of the book myself and purchased it on Amazon so I can go over the material with the kids since the teacher refuses to explain anything. [/quote]

Once every couple of months a copy of one of the Eureka math worksheets will wind up in my kid's folder. Once I noticed they got a couple of things wrong so sat down and discussed it. It took about 30 seconds to explain the concept so the kid could do this and similar problems correctly without error. This leads me to believe the teacher assigns the worksheets but does little if anything to explain the concepts. Most of my kid's teachers are wonderful and dedicated, but a few just go through the motions and do the minimum. This seems like the later.[/quote]
