[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry folks. It’s just a data artifact.

I found this fact: “Course sequencing changed for HS Math this year. In SY25, HS students take Geometry prior to taking Algebra 1. This has significantly
impacted the total number of test takers for each course - with a significant increase for Geometry and a significant decrease for Algebra 1.”

[/quote]oh so Algebra 1 proficiency rates were higher in previous years? Oh they aren't? Sorry folks, MCPS like the rest of MD is doing terrible on math instruction and it's not because of bad parenting like you all like to insist.[/quote]

I think A LOT of this is what the PP teacher mentioned about having higher expectations.  In MCPS you are truly called racist or have a target on you if you dare to hold high expectations in your classes.  I am a former teacher in MCPS -career changer- and I ethically could not continue.  I remember getting into a literal screaming match during Covid with my STD because I refused to switch every single grade to a minimum of a C, no matter the level of effort ( or not). Granted this was middle school, but no.   That STD is now an admin at a W school. [/quote]
