End Compass Learning

The Issue

The usage of the educational program, Compass Learning, via the website thelearningodyssey.com, for middle school, has caused a tremendous downfall in educational systems' accomplishments. Though it may be advertised as an aid to ensure students increase their scores on standardized tests, this program has turned into a fully realized foe of any progress towards a higher academic achievement. This program continuously teaches a variety of basic skills, which are rarely tested. Decreasing the amount of time spent learning and reviewing higher level material frequently tested; resulting in an inevitable reduction of prior overall scores. Additionally, due to widespread malfunctions found within the program, Compass Learning even fails in the instruction of elementary concepts to students who've already grasped and retained these principles far earlier in their academic career. In combination of these aspects, do we request the termination of use of Compass Learning, not only in Norwalk Public Schools, but reach out in encouragement to others, with knowledge by experience, to end this program's vicious grip on school districts across the nation.
