[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recovery plan only goes up to Precalculus.  What about the students who took Calculus or higher?  What about the Seniors that just graduated?

MCPS failed all students this year simply by not teaching the curriculum in all math classes.  There’s no way for all students to recover what was lost this year.[/quote]

No they didn't. My kids teachers covered everything. Some kids parents however dropped the ball [/quote]
Mentioning a topic may be "covering" it. It's not the same as spending time on it. [/quote]

They covered it enough that DC was able to get a perfect score on the grade 6 module 6 assessment so I'd say that was covered, but if it makes you feel better to make up excuses be my guest.[/quote]

The thread you are responding to is about Calculus.  A much harder subject for parents to teach their kid than Grade 6 math that our kids were doing in Elementary school.  There was not enough time built into the school schedule for AP classes to be adequately taught. There’s also no recovery plan for sophomores and juniors who took Calculus this year.  Many seniors are SOL and probably will need to retake Calculus in college.

However, I guess that doesn’t matter much because your child did well with simple Grade 6 math that any parent can teach to make up for the lack of effort by MCPS.[/quote]

+1. All these ES parents don't understand that our high schoolers in upper level courses had significant amounts of material not covered.[/quote]
