[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a specific data source that shows a huge problem MCPS glosses over.

https://moco360.media/2023/01/25/only-31-of-montgomery-county-students-grades-3-8-proficient-in-math-data-shows/

Only 31% of MCPS students grades 3-8 are proficient in math.

A follow up survey is needed: For those who tested proficient, how many received private tutoring? I’m sure the numbers would have been worse if some families hadn’t paid for private tutoring.[/quote]

Oh yes, the well-known "glossing-over" strategy of OFFICIALLY PRESENTING THE DATA TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AT A PUBLIC MEETING. :roll: [/quote]

I think PP means they’re not doing anything to address it. They’re required to present test data. [/quote]

Why is MCPS covering up this issue that I learned about from media coverage of their presentation to the school board at a public meeting?!?!?!11!!!![/quote]

That’s a requirement. Once again, I think the contention is that they’re nothing to fix it.[/quote]

Requirement or no requirement, they are not "glossing over" it.[/quote]

Yes they are, because they’re not addressing it.[/quote]

They are addressing it. Just not how you want them to. Maybe you should run for school board.[/quote]

How exactly are they addressing it?[/quote]

+1 Why didn’t Dr. McKnight focus on a plan during her interim tenure to address the lack of math instruction that has created the decline in math performance? Math units cannot simply be skipped over without creating gaps. This problem is going to be harder to fix the more years MCPS keeps ignoring it. Thus far, Dr. McKnight has not offered up a cohesive solution for addressing this specific problem with math in MCPS.

What is needed is testing of all students to seek where their unique gaps are. Also, we need more teachers with smaller class sizes to adequately meet each child’s needs.[/quote]
