[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... Thanks for the responses, however I am winderinf more about the changes in the curriculum in middle school and high school rather than reporting of grades (although agree that the P/ES system is a horrendous system). .   Does/will common core/2.0  affect non-math courses?  According to the MCPS technology plan the goal is to remove all textbooks for all grades by 2016.  So will material, resources move on-line -- and will this change be guided by a 2.0 or common core-based curriculum?   If so, I am deeply concerned as 2.0 has really lowered standards at the elementary grade levels.  I really hope MCPS leaves middle and high shools alone. [/quote]

Seriously? I will have to find that link. One of the reasons we went private is because the lack of textbook was hard for our kid. With no text, you really have to listen and pay attention. [/quote]

See page 9 of this report - bottom right bullet point states the goal  by 2016 is to replace 70% of all written text with longline material.  At the MCPS board meeting in which they announced personal laptops for all 3rd graders and the ultimate goal of eliminating all textbooks, the board erupted in applause- less admin work for them.

This is so ridiculous. We need kids eating lunch around noon-time, not 10:30 am, and  kids out of trailers.[/quote]
