[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These naep proficiency percentages are unacceptable.  Even 50% proficiency rate would be unacceptable.

We don't need foreign language to be taught in school.  Families that want that can do it outside or school.  We need much higher percentage of students proficient in math.[/quote]

No. Students need a well-rounded education. Some kids just need a reason to go to school in the morning and math isn't usually the inspiration for that. It's classes that interest them which is why electives are so important including world languages. Parents need to do their part at home. I see so many complaints on this board like "school didn't teach my kids times tables, now they are failing. MCPS is the worst."

....when they could have easily helped by reinforcing and practicing at home. Parents USED to do this. Now they expect schools to do everything including raise them, feed them, deal with their social/emotional problems, etc. [/quote]

My kids are doing fine in math.  But we need more kids to be proficient in math.  The proficiency percentages are absolutely unacceptable.  We are not talking about we need more kids scoring high in math.  We are talking about the minimum level of proficient.  [/quote]
