Everything was not taught this year in 4/5 or 5/6 unless the teachers found a way to teach everything that MCPS lists as omitted in the documents outlining was wasn't covered.

Our school somehow managed. The kids are now in Eureka 6 module 4. They started out part way through 5 and didn't skip anything. [/quote]

You are talking about a different class. Compacted 5/6 is currently in Module 4 and that is where they will finish the year. Each class is in that module. The problem is that the full year of Grade 6 goes through Module 6 and the classes will only be finishing through Module 4. What is so hard to understand? Your class is not special. They are not finishing the curriculum just like every other class in the county.[/quote]

A lot of parents don’t understand what MCPS is doing because it is like inside baseball.  They made decisions about what units to skip in 4/5 and 5/6 at the beginning of the year, but they did not reveal the issue until February.  Now they want to hold students accountable for missing the material, rather than figuring out how to fix it next year.  Parents can enrich in outside course or for free, but they have to know the whole story in order to do so.  I am not usually an MCPS sucks type, but this math thing is maddening.  [/quote]
