[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am just hoping that these posters are not communicating to their children that they should be bored and uninspired and see school as a waste of time. The attitude here is a little mean-spirited. The district is introducing a new curriculum based on real standards, [b]presumably[/b] with years of research and for a good reason, and parents seem to be reacting petulantly because some of their children have a brief review of concepts as the old curriculum overlaps with the new one.

Maybe I am misreading it.[b] I only have a 1st grader[/b]. But it sounds like[b] he will be getting [/b]a good fundamental education in math in elementary school and take Algebra by 8th grade. Can someone tell me if this is a reasonable assumption or if there is something I am not thinking about that really should be worrying me here? [/quote]

The problem here is you and your child are looking forward to the future.  My children are caught in the present (2 years).  Implementation has been an absolute disaster for those kids on hold the last 2 years -- a disaster.  We will check back with you in 2 years and perhaps you may have better news to report.
