[quote=Anonymous]Its not hard but it is overly laborious and bad math.

Its disorganized and IMO misses conveying the foundational bases Algebra 2.0. There is very little rigor in developing any real mastery or depth of understanding of the materials. There is a lot of jumping around from different directions in a disorganized state. MCPS has this obsession with lightly introducing other concepts in a very shallow manner. I think that they think the more the students see something repeated the more students will eventually learn it. This is stupid IMO because they don't actually let the students work deeply on the concepts they are introducing at first so it doesn't stick for kids that don't know it. For kids that already know it, it seems ridiculously easy.

Yes, many teachers who were very good or fine teaching Algebra before really struggled with the disorganization of the materials. I do not see these as teething pains. The central office had a responsibility to the students and teachers to have their act together before rolling something out. Once again, they failed. At what point does the curriculum office ever get held accountable for their failures??[/quote]
