[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS and Dr. Starr are too arrogant to admit they have made terrible decisions. Math class separation is common sense and the elimination of it in elementary school has been a disaster for our kids. Take a look at the 3rd grade MAth MSA scores, it only took 2.0 two shorts years to put Montgomery County below the state average. That is because the to 25% have to learn Math at the pace of the bottom 25%. No one cares about those top kids and blog and principal want to call this s problem of a bunch of Potomac and Olney parents who think their kids are smarter than they are. No, it is common sense!!!![/quote]
Did u read this thread?
MSA's is not a test for Common Core.
Previous curriculum taught to that test .[/quote]

The MSAs were not specific to MC curriculum. They were designed for Maryland but mirrored other states test. To argue that the now provide no value of how our children compare to others in MD is ridiculous. They test probability, fractions, word problems and written responses. Yes our children were not taught that and are now behind others. THAT is a problem. There is no longer a way to push the top half above the pace of the bottom, which is why fact-- MC test scores are below average for the state. That fact cannot be argued.[/quote]
