[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS needs to stop worrying about test scores right now. Eureka math Performance Matters tests that the district uses  to gauge mathematics are ridiculous. 7 questions for an entire module does NOT accurately gauge a student's mastery of the module, but MCPS relies on those scores. Same with the Benchmark assessments. Everyone is focusing on the wrong things right now. People should be concerned with meeting kids where they are right NOW rather than test scores. The overemphasis on data rather than teaching is a major problem. The only positive COVID provided us with was an opportunity to do a major overhaul on public education. Instead, we are doing the same ol status quo nonsense that didn't work pre-pandemic because it keeps the loud parents quiet and MCPS just wants to avoid further controversy. The reopening parents actually did a major disservice to the students of this county. (I wasn't opposed to the reopening, but their actions really ruined any outside the box thinking MCPS may have considered)...so congratulations! We're doing the same shit that didn't work in 2019 today! And we wonder why we are where we are....[/quote]

Yup! These parents were so concerned with the loss of learning and yelling about Wednesdays being half days (when..the majority of the country has at least one half day a week as a standard..something that has also been going on since the late 90s), but they didn't stop to think about all of the positive changes we could have made. They just wanted their free babysitting back all under the guise of "education." If they truly did care about education, they would have instead created a group that focused on changes that would benefit students. Nah,they just wanted things to go back to normal. But they were the heroes! They got schools open! Look at that..... And here we are...worse off than we ever were. Thank you for absolutely nothing. [/quote]
