[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the comments in the article about it:
http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/2018/MCPS-Launches-Effort-To-Find-New-Curriculum-After-Report-Finds-Flaws-in-Existing-Materials/

So MCPS developed their own materials in conjunction with Pearson, and now pays Pearson almost $1mln/year to use the shoddy curriculum they developed? Infuriating.

Also read how the previous superintendent got an all-expenses-paid trip for him and his wife to Australia, paid for by Pearson. Hmm...

The thing that gets me as I read those comments is that parents with advanced degrees can't figure out their children's homework. If they can't figure it out, how do you expect a child from a less advantaged background to figure it out? If their parents are not native English speakers and have only a high school education, how are they going to help their kids. MCPS is failing the children.

Yes, I read it.  It was a lot of bad decisions by MCPS and the person who managed this process shouldn't be managing the new curriculum decision.  But it's going to change going forward, so posting that MCPS is never going to improve is probably misguided.[/quote]

So where in the central office do you work? [/quote]

I don’t work anywhere in education.  Just a parent who doesn’t undestand why you’re wasting your breath harping about a bad decision that MCPS has already decided to fix.[/quote]
