First, MCPS teaching methods in elementary school is are ridiculous -[b] it's the mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum[/b] which really doesn't help the children retain much.

Second, the math curriculum progressed extremely slowly in early elementary but speeds up later.

Third, teach your child the important stuff at home. It's the only way without paying for private. Some teachers don't like this, but... it's not their kid.

This is totally the opposite of what I have read on previous posts in the MD school forum, prior to 2.0.  People were complaining that the math curriculum pre 2.0 was a mile wide and an inch deep.  2.0 math is supposed to be the opposite -- a mile deep and an inch wide,  particularly for the early years.[/quote]

I'm not comparing it to pre-2.0, which we did not experience, but to schools in Europe and Asia, where DH and I come from. Math here is a joke, and so is pretty much everything at the primary level. Not surprising, given the US academic ranking.
