[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be such a newb, but why was 2.0 made in the first place? Were they finding that accelerated kids were not doing well further up the chain ie hs and college? I can see why some children and their parents might be frustrated. I guess they really couldn't figure out any other way, but to have them repeat. It has to happen at some point I guess, but the teachers should make more of an effort to present new worksheets at least and give some side extensions to the advanced kids to keep them excited about math. [/quote] 2.0 is a new curriculum developed by MCPS to implement and meet the new standards under the Common Core Standards that were adopted by the state of Maryland and 47 other states. The standards for each grade changed, therefore, what is being taught in each grade must change. So, MCPS developed its own curriculum rather than buying one "off the shelf." MCPS plans to sell the curriculum to other schools systems.[/quote]
