[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2.0 is/was a failed experiment and think how many students are/were guinea pigs under it. Read the report published by Hopkins. I don't trust the system's ability to fix it because of the current debacle with the vendors, etc. Time to abandon ship![/quote]

OP should abandon ship because MCPS is replacing a bad curriculum?

How about that.[/quote]

OP here. I know DCUM exaggerates a lot, but I did read the Hopkins report and it seemed pretty scathing. I guess our concern is that, even though MCPS is replacing the curriculum, depending on whether our school is a pilot school, we could still be looking at several years of 2.0, right?

I guess our biggest concern is whether the problems with the curriculum (and technology use) are big enough to sacrifice the social benefits of going to a neighborhood school. Our neighborhood is particularly socially cohesive and it seems like opting out of the public school would really be isolating. I know academics are the most important, but we also worry about our daughter feeling like the odd kid out.[/quote]
