[quote=Anonymous]My two cents from a title 1 school with high FARMs and high EML. Curriculum is suppressed and not covered to accommodate slow pace, lack of English proficiency, behavioral issues. All non EML kids are held down in order to keep up with the general slow pace. For example, while teacher explains or translates into Spanish the assignment, some kids who are done already are on Chromebooks, or just sit and wait. Science is regularly omitted in order to catch up Math. It is all done so "nobody is left behind" but then these rates show everybody is held back. Why not segregate EML learners and have them in English proficiency classes 1-2 years and then start them in kindergarten, etc. They will be older, but will be better prepared to absorb the material. Title I, if you read all available research is a total failure. It does not produce the outcome it is designed to do. EML and FARMS = Title I = lower graduation rates. The bigger irony is also that CKLA, designed especially to lift lower-income students up, is misused, butchered, or not used at all, in order for MCPS to put the word equity everywhere. The rot at MCPS is only going to continue. [/quote]
