[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools wont crack down because most consequential options would damage graduation rates which are part of the Maryland school report card. Unfortunately in education, once something becomes part of the school assessment it basically ceases to be an important learning metric. It immediately gets manipulated.[/quote] Decent graduation rates are one of the few good metrics MCPS still has. No way are they going to risk lowering it.[/quote] But that "good metric" isn't really good if they're padding with a bunch of kids who are technically graduating with D's and not truly college or workforce ready, which is what the goal of Blueprint is. Blueprint is going to put a lot more pressure on MCPS to raise the bar beyond just graduation rate, which is why MCPS is scrambling and fighting being judged by the Blueprint standards and already trying to contort and concoct ones that make them look better than they actually are.[/quote]
