    All of these 'rankings' are a self licking ice cream cone to make us feel better for the taxes we pay for substandard results. Read the Kirwan Commission Report for the real truth, not 'niche'. Our best students are likely two to three years behind their international peers. Also, when one of these schools -- MCPS included -- has the courage to take an international benchmark test like the PISA then we should give them a bow. MCPS central office deserves as much daily scorn as they receive on this board - probably even a little more -- for the curriculum travesty the past nine years. So hurrah to the cram schools for these results! (Lindamood-Bell, C2, Abacus Math...)

Uh...this is high schools. The curriculum deficiency was ES and MS.
    Idiot

'Idiot' here. Fact: the kids who started on Curriculum 2.0 are now entering their Junior Year in MCPS High Schools.

And???
In HS, they don't use C2.0

Correct.  What I am saying is that these same students were on a failed Curriculum 2.0 for nearly 8 years prior to high school.  Please see earlier DCUM thread about actually paying for tutors to make up for the disaster:

Troll or not, OP has a point. Not in terms of $$ going to students, but offering supplemental math courses/tutoring sound like a good idea, particularly in the poorer high schools. Maybe even a math class specifically designed to catch students up with the aspects of math that were skipped along the way. And offered on site in MCPS high schools. (Kids who went through 2.0 are primarily still in high school.)  03/25/2019 16:04[/quote]
