That's a quote from one of the many vocal and vehment DCUMs who have done nothing but shriek about Curriculum 2.0 for the past few months. You have literally ruined every PTA event and back-to-school night and meet-the-principal coffee with your hystrionics. Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration. We get it - all your kids are incredibly gifted, which presumably is the product of (or justification for) the fact that you quit your big-firm lawyer job or shelved that Wharton MBA as soon as you peed on the stick. You're insufferable, and if you give me this much of a headache from my relatively infrequent contact with you at these meetings or at school pickups, I can only imagine how much the MCPS teachers and administrators enjoy your dramatics.

My husband went to one of these meetings and came back laughing about the neurotic freak show, all wearing their yoga pants but apparently absolutely certain of the appropriate pedagogy for their special snowflakes. Evidently the litany of complaints about Sophie's devastation at having to repeat multiplication was only derailed by one parent (one of the few other fathers, fwiw) who had the temerity to ask about resources for "average" kids in MCPS. If I knew who this guy was, I would give him a medal.

To the PP who "threatened" to sell her house and move back to DC or Arlington, please, I beg you, start packing. Believe it or not, the rest of us will do just fine without you! Something tells me, however, you will stay in your Bethesda rebuild and continue to complain. Fwiw, I'm sure MCPS isn't perfect, but my kid has had fantastic teachers and has learned a lot. I had a lot less and managed to do okay in life, so I'm pretty happy with what we've got. [/quote]
