[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't see how comments like this add anything to the discourse other than to convey that you are unhappy; which is why I appreciate the prior poster's response. Just repeating the statement that the schools are teaching to the lowest level is a mantra, not an argument. Also, I think your metaphor would be better if you referenced rats in an experiment rather than piglets in a pen.[/quote]

As usual, you missed the point entirely.  Don't read the labels to find out whether curriculum 2.0 is working; simply, get data from those in the battle fields (children and teachers).  Where did you read the statement that "the schools are teaching to the lowest level" from the piggy post?  Confused again.  Do not mix apples with oranges.  And you prefer an analogy to liken children to rats in an experiment rather than piglets in a pen?  Experimental animal models are not limited to rodents.  Over the years pigs are better animal models and closer to the human condition. Oink, oink.[/quote]

First, I started this thread to get data from parents of children who have experience with the curriculum.
Second, poster 14:50 said [quote]Teachers supposedly can differentiate in the classroom. I don't know other schools, but in our school, there is only one level of education and that is teaching to the lowest level.[/quote] That is the point I thought the pig poster was trying to make; though her metaphor was rather muddy.
Third, I did not know that pigs had become one of the preferred animals for experimental purposes. I learned something new today.
