[quote=Anonymous]My daughter switched from private to public when she entered 4th grade this year. The work done in class exhausted her early on. She's used to it now, but what she "learned" with worksheets last year, she learned through differentiated group work where concepts were reinforced through different modes. She is expected to read each night and she has monthly book presentations that aren't graded but that are expected to be completed. She has monthly assignments with words (patterns, prefixes/suffixes, etc) and a sheet of math problems that can easily take 20 minutes just to complete one. As an educator, I'm not unhappy with 2.0, nor am I disappointed with the PARCC assessments, as both revolved around critical thinking skills. I will say, however, that teachers MUST understand how 2.0 works and in schools with challenging populations, differentiation is crucial.[/quote]
