What's funny about this is that your answer (which seem so logical, I agree) is WRONG.  That was the only answer that wasn't allowed (well, that and well b/c 1/3 plus 1/3 just is 2/3).  Your answer is exactly what we went in to discuss with the teacher.  The fact that it isn't considered right IS the problem.  Under 2.0, the claim that your answer doesn't "go deep enough" and doesn't "go farther."  When we asked the teacher how she would go deeper/farther and what her answer would be and she couldn't answer.  THAT'S WHY IT IS ESOTERIC, ILLOGICAL AND AGE-INAPPROPRIATE!   BTW, the caps are just frustration at 2.0, not at your answer:)[/quote]aid so

Well, you were there, and I wasn't, so I'm not going to say that it didn't happen -- but it's definitely different from what my experience with Curriculum 2.0 math has been. It's been a common pattern on DCUM that some parents say, "2.0 requires [this]! The teachers/principals said so!", and then other parents say, "But that's not how they're doing things in my kid's school..." Which suggests that there is a problem, but not necessarily with the curriculum.[/quote]
