[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:11, do kids have trouble in MCPS if leaving DCPS in 4 or 5 grade? Anyone else with experience?[/quote] MCPS uses curriculum 2.0, which is their way of implementing common core (implemented in DC also). So technically students should not have much difficulty. But Common Core does not have any published books or textbooks and as far as I know schools/teachers don't have a unified methodology. If the teacher is really good in math and hard working, then your kid should be alright. If not, then there are problems -- same with MCPS schools but since the schools are larger, grade levels get together and prepare the daily curriculum as a team so that every teacher in the school is doing the same thing. A few parents/teachers like this unified method of doing math. However many do not love it especially at the upper grades where algebra is not taught in a cohesive and logical sequence and so much time is given to the writing component of it.[/quote]
