A kid with 99% on MAP in math somehow got a B in 2nd-grade math. My sense is the teacher just hands out worksheets and doesn't want to be bothered with explaining anything.

Sounds like you arent even paying attention. Eureka is very specific. Teachers cant just grade whatever they feel like and "worksheets" arent part of the curriculum. Quizzes and tests are the only things that are allowed to be graded in MCPS for math. Maybe do some research first.

I'm guessing you've never looked at eureka math book because it's just a book of worksheets.

The problem sets aren’t graded. Move along.

If the exit tickets are, we never see them since the teacher won't share them with parents.

Sigh. Exit tickets aren’t graded either. What part of “only quizzes and assessments are graded” don’t you understand?

We wouldn't know since the teacher won't send anything home or respond to emails.

Check their grades in Synergy. You keep coming back here to blame everyone else without actually doing any real work of your own.

The only thing posted in Synergy is the end-of-quarter report card. Everything else is blank at least for ES.

So let me get this:

* Teacher refuses to provide any feedback or grade papers.
* When asked for a conference multiple times, the teacher is unresponsive.
* Teacher has ignored multiple emails.
* Teacher refuses to post grades on synergy.

Sounds like you got a bad teacher. It happens.

Exactly, some teachers are just going through the motions and doing the bare minimum. Don't sweat it. The county doesn't take their feedback all that seriously anyway and mostly uses MAP. They will however notice that many of their students are doing worse than in their peers classes and that's on them.

Further, when combined with chronic absence requiring subs a couple of times a month, the administration knows this is a terrible teacher. Like the PP said don't sweat it.

Absent twice a month is chronic absenteeism? Hardly. Teachers have lives. Doctors appointments? Shouldn’t have to be say or justified but here we are yet again.

5+ times a month is more like it... I have a life too but if I did that at my job, I'd be fired.

So.... no teachers are putting in 5+ times a month. Never was posted. You're just sad and pathetic.

At our school it's commonplace. In fact, one of DC's teachers was out last month for over a week and another was just out all of last week. Seems like they always have a sub for something.

Agree, that PP probably doesn't even live in moco. Ever since the pandemic teachers are constantly out, and most of the time they can't even get subs now.

The very nature of percentiles assured you that not everyone is in the 90s. The MCPS and national MAP percentiles are close to each other.

Seems everyone's kid on dcum is high 90s on MAP...so those are the parents on dcum - not that everyone is getting 90s right?

To answer the question posted, no my 3rd grader mostly makes Bs in all academic subjects but straight As in art, PE, music. In the behavior type grades it's usually the highest too. But MAP scores are not great either. Math is 80s and reading is 40 at best. We are now supplementing with reading tutoring 3 times a week. My child works hard - just not that academic...seems bright in terms of common sense, etc. and is a kind and sweet kid.

Oh, come on teachers already work 180 days per year. An additional five days leave per month takes it down to 130 which may sound like a sweet deal, but teaching early ES is a tough job.

The teacher refuses to share copies of their work and the books are kept at school. A track down a copy of the book myself and purchased it on Amazon so I can go over the material with the kids since the teacher refuses to explain anything.

And yet all you had to do was put in eureka math third grade into google and all of the resources are available and free online. There are also videos of lessons on YouTube, homework help videos, etc. you didn’t need to buy anything but clearly you’d rather just be angry than spend five minutes googling. Your time spent here should be used for something resourceful.

Only the old edition of Eureka is free. The second edition isn't

The materials your kids is currently learning are free. Check embarc. The scariest part about all of your posts is now we can better understand where the learned helplessness comes from.

Those are outdated versions and aren't aligned with what the school uses.

Good to know thanks.

I have compared the free version with what my kid uses (because kid occasionally messes up and brings home the workbook), and it is exactly the same.

Our school used a newer version

Are they using Eureka Math squared, which conslidates content into fewer lessons? That would be surprising, as that type of decision would typically be done by central office. Maybe central office is piloting this at just some schools?

More on this curriculum: https://greatminds.org/eurekamathsquared

No but the copyright is 6 years later than the online version. Also the module I'm looking at the school version has 7 additional lessons not included in the online version.

Which year/module is it? How many lessons are you seeing?

The school version's copyright shows 2021, 6 years later, the online version is from 2015. The online version has the modules but has an additional 7 lessons not listed in the older online version.

As I posted earlier the free versions are a little different since they're out of date.
