[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that these two pieces from the Baltimore Sun (one by the superintendent of Howard County Public Schools, the other an editorial) provide a good explanation of why the MSAs are not an appropriate assessment of learning under the Common Core and of what the drops in MSA test scores mean (and don't mean).

Written by administration. The ideals of the new curriculum are great but the implementation is not working and the teachers do not know how to teach to the highest and lowest students in the same math class in Montgomery County where there can be a huge difference. So the "enrichment" is really an excuse to parents whose kids now are bored and not challenged. The implementation is not working but these first few classes have no more time to waste of learning what they did in 1st grade. [/quote]

I do agree. Implementation has been poor and either not well planned or not well executed.[/quote]
