[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what's abnormal or age-inappropriate about learning about carbon dioxide and the carbon footprint. (And I know that first-graders learned about the environment under the previous curriculum.) It makes a lot of sense to me to wait to teach about time on an analog clock until the children have learned about fractions. And I don't see the detriment, since everybody uses digital clocks these days anyway. Also, a lot of the stuff you complain about is school policy, not the curriculum. (Probably under the previous curriculum, you would have been one of the people complaining about math acceleration. MCPS can't do anything right.)[/quote] LOL. And why even teach kids to read digital clocks when they can just ask Siri what time it is? And why waste time teaching kids fractions when the earth is cooking and heating and boiling due to their carbon footprint? No child left behind, because if you go this slow there is no "behind".
