[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ninety-nine percent of K and 1st grade teachers in MCPS are clueless. There is no instructional plan for these children. A certification in education doesn't guarantee the teachers themselves have mastered multiplication. That's the fundamental problem. NO curriculum, even curriculum 2.0, will fix this! [/quote]

This is why the only practical solution in a $2 billion/year public school system (with teachers not capable of meeting the instructional needs of such wide variability) is a block curricular system allosing able students to move up to next levels with a better chance of encountering need-based instruction.

Doing away with the pathways has not only exposed the incompetence of the leadership but unfortunately also has unveiled the incompetence of MCPS teachers by compounding their prior struggles with the burden of trying to meet all the children's needs in one grade-level classroom.   It will take a whole new generation of newly trained competent teachers to make this scheme work in MCPS.
