[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been following the objection of some to Curriculum 2.0 and, frankly, I'm not sure how folks can object to the effectiveness of a curriculum that has yet to be implemented in all grades
.
After reading this article, http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Blogs/Education-Matters/July-August-2011/No-more-math-acceleration/, I don't understand the basis for the assumption that children will not be challenged in math.  From the article, [quote]The curriculum includes enrichment and accelerated material that goes beyond the new requirements. That means that “students who consistently demonstrate proficiency of a mathematics concept will be able to enrich their understanding of a grade-level topic or accelerate to a higher-level topic,” [/quote]

I'd like to read a opinions of the curriculum from a parent with a child who has been using it. [/quote]

My child is in first grade, and is in the supposed "challenge" math group. But it just isn't very challenging. Repetitious, yes, challenging, no.[/quote]
