[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not an MCPS or Josh Starr problem exlcusively. My cousin teaches in Westchester County in NY, a county similar to Montgomery County. She complains about common core too, but she thinks the standards are too high, and not developmentally appropriate. She sees some of the books that DD reads, and says she wouldn't allow her kids to read such advanced books at DD's age, for some reason that I cannot fathom. She thinks the new standardized test, PARCC, is too hard. They also have a standards based report card, though not exactly ES, P, I, N. Something similar though. She hates it.[/quote] PARCC is not too hard. You see similar tests at private schools. However, what you also see at privates are K classes that are developmentally appropriate. This is not the case in MCPS. [/quote] How can anybody say anything about the hardness/easiness of the PARCCs? They're not ready yet. [/quote]
