MCPS aim was not just to meet common core standards.  It was under pressure to address the achievement gap and figure out why URM students were failing to thrive. [b]They slowed down acceleration so that every one could get depth of knowledge by repeating concepts.[/b]  This did not get the desired results, Also,  parents who were not paying attention started to supplement, further widening the gap. Then MCPS started to do away with final exams, do away with comprehensive student reports.  Then after 7 years it was determined that the standards had fallen significantly with long lasting damage to the education of many students.

Throw this Board of Ed away, especially that incompetent woman Patricia O'Neil.[/quote]

They slowed down acceleration because everybody, including math teachers and parents, agreed that there was too much acceleration.

Also, when I read the audit, it didn't say anything about standards falling significantly, let alone about comprehensive final exams.[/quote]
