[quote=Anonymous]MCPS could address this issue by hiring specific math and science teachers for elementary school rather than just having one teacher do everything. MCPS could throw 2.0 out the window and develop a real math program. 
MCPS could re-instate differentiation and acceleration in math but this time tie it to rigor in the assessment required to move ahead. 
MCPS could offer before and after school math tutoring services for students who struggle rather than having the whole class sit through 50 repetitions of the same stuff. 
MCPS could manage its teachers. If a majority of students who receive As and Bs on tests throughout the year receive a D or below on the county or state exam it shows a failure in teaching and quality control at the local school and county level. Slowing it down and constant repetition in 2.0 isn't going to solve the problem. 
MCPS could be transparent with its scores rather than hiding them from year until a parents group brings the problem public.

MCPS will not do any of these things because MCPS isn't a functional organization. It is poorly led and mismanaged. It needs new leadership to change and a political mandate that the past poor performance on so many fronts is not acceptable. [/quote]
