[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yet, in practice it has become a "not to exceed" standard. For example, this year's 4th graders (under ciriculum 2.0) the MAXIMUM acceleration allowed in math is "compacted 4/5 math" yet under the PRE-2.0 curriculum, 4th graders could take 5th grade math, 6th grade math, or even in rare cases 7th grade math. To suddenly say that the maximum level is 4/5 is artificially slowing kids down. If those kids are capable and high-flyers in math, they should be allowed to accelerate. Yes, 2.0 is a "not to exceed" standard.[/quote] There sure are a lot of people on DCUM who who hate the whole entire Curriculum 2.0 based on the fact that their fourth graders are no longer allowed to take sixth-grade math. I don't get it. And isn't putting fourth graders in sixth grade math artificially speeding kids up?[/quote]
