[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow the proficient in math percentage across the board in MCPS middle school is ABYSMAL.

Can we slow down math and teach necessary every day math and stop pushing algebra to kids who can’t even do long division or know fractions [/quote]

My kids found imcps math incredibly slow and boring. They typically scored 20 to 30 points over the 99th percentile on the MAP-M which is a national test but on the MCAP they had an average score.  I forgot to mention they also qualified for AIME. The problem is the MCAP is just not a good measuring stick.  The state needs to find something better to accurately assess these kids.[/quote]

If your kid isn't getting a 3 or 4 on the MCAP or a 4 or 5 on the PARCC before it, then I'm sorry he or she is not proficient. These test grade-level standards.[/quote]

This.  You can make any kind of nonsense justification you want, but if your kid is not proficient, he is not proficient.

[b]I appreciate these tests because they were a wake-up call for me, regarding my own kids!  My kid gets As in all her classes, yet did poorly on one of these tests.  We had never done any outside academic enrichment, but this made me realize that my kid might not be doing as great as I had assumed.  Turned out that was true, and she had a good deal of holes in her Math education that we have since worked on filling.  [/b]

You can choose to bury your head in the sand and listen to MCPS’ PR department tell you how great our kids are doing.  Or, you can look at your kid objectively and decide for yourself.

Maybe, like the PP said, your AIME-participating kid is doing great.  But, maybe not.  Either way, these tests do provide some information to parents who are relying on MCPS (and its inflated grading system).[/quote]

Same!  My 8th grader gets all A's, but she studies and pays attention just enough to pass her little 5 point quizzes and digests NOTHING.  I have explained how math keeps growing.  You can't memorize and move on.  You need to understand it.  But MCPS grading is just WAY too easy.  I mean ridiculously easy and the kids know it.  Retakes, curved grading, A=B always = A etc....
