[quote=Anonymous]It's the textbooks!!! No textbooks? Are you kidding me? My kids come home with "worksheets" with no explanation and that's supposed to take the place of textbooks???? They don't know how to learn. They don't know how to review. They don't know how to study. They are going to FAIL when they get to college.

This all started 7 or 8 years ago with curriculum 2.0, when they decided that math was like a blossoming flower and needed to be imagined in kids' heads instead of memorized. This is the only generation on earth that will NEVER need to know math -- they will ALWAYS have a calculator on hand -- and yet MCPS has decided to teach them "concepts" of math, in their heads, from every angle instead of simply teaching them to memorize math tools like multiplication tables.

Insane. .MCPS is so so so so bad now. I'm also a product of MCPS and have older kids who went through it before they changed everything. My youngest is really being shafted. Very disappointed in MCPS now.[/quote]
