[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 4th and 5th grade,  teachers should give students a richer curriculum which does not have to be linked to any testing.
They can still do their common core and currciulum 2.0 and still have geography, history of art, learn about scientist and their inventions, just like they do in most countries. [/quote]

Shouldn't they be included in the common core/c 2.0 if they are important knowledge?  And if they are important knowledge, shouldn't their be testing to make sure it was covered properly? [/quote]

The Common Core standards are only for math and reading/language arts.

Curriculum 2.0 includes social studies, art, science, and so on. There are no standardized tests for these subjects, except for the science MSA in fifth grade, which is no longer (as far as I know) linked to the MCPS science curriculum.

Here is the curriculum guide for fourth grade: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/curriculum/elementary/parent-guide-traditional-grade4-en.pdf
