[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This past year my 2nd grader took 3rd (and some 4th) grade math.  His report cards consistently showed him in AP math. So even though there is supposedly no accelleration in the new curriculum, it looks like maybe there are exceptions to that general rule.  I don't know what they will do for him in 3rd grade though. I've received mixed messages.[/quote]

Our school implemented 2.0 for Grade 2 this past year and still continued with acceleration for a handful of second graders.  I have been told that going forward there won't be nearly as much grade-level advancement, and it won't be granted until after in-class enrichment and acceleration efforts have been exhausted, but that it has not been taken off the table for those few kids who really need it.  This also seems consistent with the Curriculum 2.0 implementation plans and recommendations I've seen for mathematics, but this, like so much in the county, will likely fall to each school's administration to decipher and implement.  Sounds like it's changing from being encouraged to being discouraged, but still allowed sparingly, at the discretion of each school.[/quote]
