[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. MCPS is using the following numbers:

220 in the Fall 
Or
238 in the Spring

The kids must meet one of those two score.

There are also 2 other required criteria. [/quote]

So 90th%? Sorry, but that is crap, particularly as our DC’s class didn’t even cover all of the material.[/quote]

I think that is the point... if they didn't cover the material and don't know it, compacting curriculum and moving forward in addition to what was missed already would not be beneficial.[/quote]

The same would be true of all kids in that class unless they had outside support and tutoring to cover that material. So much for equity, especially in the pandemic. So curious how this will impact DCs class where many of the kids were in the care of cousins and older siblings and just joining class and submitting assignments was a big deal. Such a crappy way for the county to manage this. Let’s be as disruptive as possible to kids midstream. [/quote]

They covered all the material at our school. Not sure which schools are failing to keep up and why.[/quote]

Ours too.  I think its parents just justifying why their kids aren't doing well and don't feel like getting involved and monitoring so they are blaming the school instead.[/quote]

JFC, I do more than monitor my kid; I check their homework and ensure they get the concepts covered. My child got straight As - and strong As - across the year. They thrives on the compacted math environment and loved the class. They didn’t get a 230 and so now they don’t continue? That’s just wrong. They are doing well and no less equipped to do well in math 5/6 than any of their fellow students.

Hang your ego on something else. [/quote]

I can't like this post enough!  My kid hasn't missed anything on an EOM since first quarter.  Not just A's but 100%, my child routinely is at the top of the class on when they do the prep games for the EOMs and the sprints.  I seriously doubt my kid will be getting a 238, they simply don't test well on these tests.  I suspect compacted will be gone by the time my current 2nd grader is heading to 4th and that child always scores in the 90s on Map.  This is about elimination of the program, and they found a convenient justification with the pandemic.  [/quote]
