[quote=Anonymous]Curriculum 2.0 is just a one size fits all program.  Children are not put into groups according to ability.  The general ed teacher who has 32 kids in her class also can't possibly differentiate the lesson 32 different ways to meet each child's needs.  The reality ends up being that the child who has mastered concepts is bored while waiting for the majority of the kids to catch up before new concepts or challenges are offered.  The child who may have difficulty keeping up may not get the extra attention he or she deserves and falls further behind.  Maybe the 50% of kids in the middle are served with the new 2.0 Curriculum but I would expect with the tax dollars MCPS receives, parents should expect more from their public school system.

As a parent who has witnessed the implementation first hand, it seems to me that the teachers have not been properly trained or given enough support to do what the program promises.  MCPS should think twice about the expense of rolling out the Curriculum 2.0 which has far more limitations than the program it is replacing.  How much will it cost and how far down the road will MCPS go till it decides to ditch Curriculum 2.0?[/quote]
