[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It comes into play with math too. For normal math, yes you can see whether the answer is right or wrong. [b]In MCPS math you need to write an essay explaining how you thought about it using words and sentences. [/b]
I have seen my child get an ES because she wrote a long, overly wordy paragraph that was actually wrong in terms of the math!! She also learned that for some teachers you have to spit back out exactly how they described it. I have seen her get an I on an assignment even though the explanation was correct but it didn't match how the teacher wanted her to describe it. In the end she gets all Ps on the grade card.

This redefinition of math as a language skill is incredibly stupid so I'm not overly concerned with DD excelling at MCPS math. We now have to pay for outside math courses so we can be confident that she'll have a good math foundation in the future. [/quote]

I haven't seen this. What grade is your child in?[/quote]

Totally seeing this for my kids from 3rd-6th grade, pre and post 2.0.  [b]W cluster schools[/b].[/quote]

That might explain it.[/quote]
