[quote=Anonymous]I have a few kids in elementary school, help out in the classroom, and attend all the school activities etc. I have noticed in the past two years that teachers and staff keep making very odd comments about 2.0 and multiple references to how there are good things but some bad things and they can't talk about them. I had one more senior teacher tell me some things that she didn't like but quickly follow up with I can't share this widely please don't repeat this. I heard one staff member tell another parent that as an MCPS employee she could say anything negative about it. Its hard to describe but they actually seem worried.

The controversial aspects of 2.0 aren't exactly a mystery as everyone talks about the same things being an issue. It isn't as if they are divulging secrets from a classified educational lab. I am not incredibly into the actual 2.0 debate but I am disturbed at the idea that teachers and local school staff are not allowed to speak freely. I'm concerned that teachers are required to stay on message, are somehow threatened not to speak in anyway that could be negative or are told what to say rather than actually feeling that their engagement is welcome.
