[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ha, not Mars, though we have just started in the system with a kindergartner so it's possible we just don't know enough about how it used to be to make these comparisons. I for one just looked through the 154-page detailed Curriculum 2.0 pdf on the MCPS website, and nowhere did it say that the new curriculum is about holding back math prodigies. To look at how the schools and the district are describing the curriculum and then to look here on DCUM at what people say it's all about, it's hard to see that they are even talking about the same thing. Can someone please translate?[/quote]

Rather than read the glossy insert about curriculum 2.0 spend time reviewing the in class and out of class work your children have done since K.  If you have done this for the last 2 years, and you clearly have not, you'll understand what I mean.  The goal of curriculum 2.0 is to close the gap between the highly performing math students and all the rest.  There has been zero change in the content of the curriculum taught to my children -- the only measurable and demonstrable change is some students are blocked and prohibited from advancing after mastery.  That's it.  If you can provide other data, metrics or information from Mars, we are all ears and eyes.[/quote]
