Right..we have already slammed MCPS for rolling out 2.0 too quickly.  Now (for a change of pace) we need to complain about a slow roll out for 3.0.[/quote]

I'd say given we're are in a triage situation with a defunct current curriculum AND we're purchasing a proven math and ELA off-the-shelf curriculum (complete with teacher materials, possibly textbooks, functioning website, parent resources, training materials and reference tools), AND MCPS has some of the most educated teachers around, it could roll out faster and be fine.

C2.0 was terrible because Erik Lange & crew were smashing up various worksheets and calling it the new homebrew MCPS C2.0 with buddy Pearsons. Then they rolled it out in September before it was even complete, no resources, $hit "training", teachers constantly getting updates/revisions, materials riddled with numerical and grammatical errors, an IT portal that crashed weekly, etc.

No comparison.

The fact that anyone in K-3 in particular wants their kids to do ANY C2.0 boggles my mind. It is the number one reason all the area preschools and montessori schools are full up on K students for the first year ever.  People are avoiding C2.0. And the county has no answer to when it will be gone.  If PARCC, Pearson's product again, is also gone they should hurry up and say that time frame as well. Principals only care about their PARCC scores - not the teachers, not the students, not the shoddy curriculum, not the parents. [/quote]
