I have heard this exact same perspective from many of my Chinese friends. There is overwhelming disapproval for 2.0 and articulate, knowledge parents who can speak clearly on what is wrong and what can change but they have no interest in raising their voices to MCPS. I know it feels like a waste of time and MCPS certainly doesn't have a good track record ever listening to parents but it is in your interest to come forward and speak out.

The farther MCPS diverges from a quality education, the more difficult it will be for your children to bridge the gap. You have already seen opportunities vanish as math acceleration was removed. What else will go if you don't stand up? No AP math classes because everyone was forced down two years behind the rest of the world? Your children are missing out on feeling pride in achievement from school when everyone gets a P for doing basic work. [/quote]

Evidence that math in Curriculum 2.0 is "two years behind the rest of the world", please.

Actually, evidence for "everyone gets a P", please, too.

Also, I consider myself an articulate, knowledgeable parent, and far from disapproving, I think that Curriculum 2.0 is better than the previous curriculum.[/quote]

I agree - where's the evidence?  [/quote]

Some 5th graders in HGC were doing 7th grade math this year - but next year (6th grade) they will repeat the compacted 6/7 math instead of going on to do 8th grade Math! If there is the capability to do advanced Math why are we holding these kids back?

Again - if your kids are not advanced students you have nothing to worry, because MCPS is teaching your kids at their capability and interest!
