It’s possible to do more than one thing at a time. To completely neglect top performers (ie, grades 1–3) in order to focus 100% on the lowest performers is not a good solution.

The solution is teacher and school accountability. They behave like workers who are in jobs where they cannot be fired. MCPS pays teachers far higher than most parts of the country and the results of the teaching is terrible (see the MCAP results).[/quote]
To clarify, I am talking about the bad teachers. The ones who do not hand back classwork, do not make accurate or good corrections, who focus more on letting a student because of their condition disrupt the class rather than teach, the list goes on. Thank goodness I do not have to deal with that awful MCPS ES anymore.

There are many amazing teachers here and they should be duly rewarded for their great work.[/quote]

Or teachers telling students to just write something on the math homework to turn it in for completion. How are those students going to learn and build math skills if they put down 4 for 2+7??[/quote]
