[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a matter of MSA's next week.  MoCo is loathe to miss any prep time.

And I should have imposed my own delay.  Good thinking PP.[/quote]

MoCo doesn't care about MSAs this year.  I'm an MCPS ES teacher and had taken off today for a couple of doctor's appointments.  Already got the call that my sub cancelled this morning, and my principal called to see if I could come in anyway because at 8:30, half the staff either hasn't shown up or called to say they would not be in by the time school starts.

Sitting in the doctor's office now, and yeah, roads and conditions were far worse than what MCPS usually tolerates for on-time openings.  Surprised there wasn't a delay.[/quote]

hahahahahaha
I'm sure your boss would love to hear that MoCo doesn't care about MSAs this year.  Funny, because MSA prep has been the focus of the learning at my son's MS all month.  Pray tell, why doesn't MoCo care about MSA's this year?  I would LOVE to hear this one.[/quote]

It's not aligned to the new curriculum and there is a state-wide petition to not even take it this year because the test, and its results, are irrelevant because of this.  Twenty-two school districts, including MCPS, have asked permission to not give it but Gov. O'Malley has denied the request.  And yes, many principals share this sentiment (at least in elementary--can't speak for middle schools).  When they switch to PARCC next year, everyone will surely go back into full test-prep mode.[/quote]
