We don't have that data for the MVA so you are speaking without really knowing and you need to stop throwing FARMS and EML families under the bus for your talking points acting like they aren't capable of making good decisions and only you are.

You are so clueless about all this and keep rambling.  MAP can be done online but they are not a true indicator as many kids come MS and HS blow off the tests as they are meaningless.  Once you hit MS you get placed on a math track and stay there.  So, your MAP scores are not relevant.  It's every other test that requires you to be in person and many families skipped those, like us.

And, they are not looking at actual school/child data.  Kids should be measured with their peers from their home schools, not all schools since not all schools have the same opportunities.

That data in enrollment is not correct.  If you look at the bottom, it clearly states that schools with fewer than 10 students were not included in those numbers.  I couldn't figure out why mine weren't listed.   But, that blogger or who ever she is wasn't posting that fact or reading the numbers accurately.

Even so, why do you care?  [b]It's cheaper for MCPS, it reduces in person class sizes, and gives parents choice.[/b]

You want choice - you choose in person.  Maybe we should take away your choice and make your kids do virtual.[/quote]

Whatever MCPS's goals are, I'm pretty sure that MCPS's goals are NOT

1. spending less money for a worse educational outcome
2. reducing class sizes by putting some kids in a learning environment with a worse educational outcome
3. giving parents the choice of a worse educational outcome

And I'm a person who believes there is a role for a Virtual Academy in MCPS for kids to attend temporarily - for example, for kids with chronic health problems that keep them out of regular school, or for kids who have experienced bullying in their regular schools.[/quote]
