[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually the goal is to just increase graduation rates. That is all that counts at the admin, state and federal level. The quality of the education itself doesn’t matter. All school systems across the nation have been forced to backslide to increase graduation rates especially for any historically underachieving subgroups[/quote] Yup. Graduate them and get them out "on time" is the name of the game. [/quote] This is exactly what it feels like at the high school where I work. Relentless pressure on teachers to make sure every student passes. Doesn’t matter if the student never attends class and has not learned anything this year. I want to look elsewhere for next year but I’m worried all of MCPS is now like this. I have plenty of strong students but the bottom quarter are taking up all of my energy and time [/quote]
