[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Look, I love my kids as much as the next parent, but study the curriculum? I feel like the world has gone mad! My parents, and I'm pretty sure the parents of my friends, were not so overly involved in our academic lives, and we turned out great -- good colleges, good jobs etc. [/quote]

My kid is in second grade, and I tried to read the 2.0 overview of the grade 2 curriculum...and then I got to these vague concepts like "metacognition" and my eyes rolled back into my head and I recycled the overview.

Metacognition is a great word!  2.0 is preparing students to NOT to be Jerry's enabled kids by learning to think critically.  They become aware of their thinking and are resourceful enough to find strategies to help them fill in the gaps.

For too long, kids have been spoon-fed.  Now they have the opportunity to dig deeply into concepts.  quality over quantity

You shouldn't have recycle the overview, as that was an ignorant move.  And FWIW, maybe you should learn to be a bit more resourceful by looking up definitions.[/quote]
