[quote=Anonymous][quote]I actually do like the Curriculum 2.0 and here is why?

The focus is to encourage students to be able to THINK critically – not simply regurgitate the thoughts of others. Instead of teaching children to make good decisions by telling them what to do, they are taught to make good decisions by giving them decisions to make; teachers are no longer teaching but facilitating.
 
Also students are introduced to advanced concepts earlier the before; so basically a kindergartener is introduced to concepts from 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade and then reinforced, revisited and expanded upon again and again for the next few years.[/quote]

I see why you like the curriculum.  Your child was introduced to advanced concepts earlier than before.  This is good.

The curriculum hasn't worked for my child over the last 2 years as the child was already introduced to those advance concepts before he entered the system.  Thus, curriculum 2.0 hasn't worked for our child the way it's worked for your child.  Since MCPS has removed the option of subject advancement (an older sibling was advanced multiple grade levels) for this child the option is to learn from the older sibling and self study.  MCPS teaching (in math) was [i]absolutely worthless[/i] since K.  She is now in 3rd grade.[/quote]
