[quote=Anonymous]DS and DD have always been in accelerated Math. DS has been chosen for compacted 4/5 for next year in HGC. DD is HS HGC with a accelerated and challenging curriculum. I may be the only parent who says this but for me it is more important that the Math concepts are taught in-depth as well as taught well. I feel more Math homework and projects needs to be given so that the foundation is rock solid. I am ok with the slower pace of curriculum 2.0 as long as what the kids learn, they learn well and there are no gaps in their knowledge. There is no victory medals being awarded if your child gets to Calculus in 10th grade. What is important is that they fully absorb and internalize the concepts in Math and so when they reach higher math they are able to make sense of the abstract concepts. I have no problem with curriculum 2.0 provided that 2.0 does a better job of laying the math foundation that our kids need. [/quote]
