[quote=Anonymous]The biggest problem I see from C2.0 is that kids are not allowed to accelerate if they are ready.  For many kids this will be fine, but there are some that can handle more.    As a result, they will be bored and develop a poor view of education.   Someday, they will compete for jobs against the brightest from India, China, etc. and won't know how to how to respond to these kids that have always been challenged.  Most likely our kids will work for these other kids.  All of the Phds where I work now are US educated, but foreign born.  This will continue.

For those of you who don't have a special needs child or who don't have a HG kid, then just think about the possibility that you don't understand what it is like to spend all day in such an uninspiring situation.   As parents, it is painful to watch.

Finally, consider that such an important and large program is just getting rolled right off the shelf with no piloting and no stakeholder (i.e., parent) input.  I really have lost respect for school administrators and the BOE.  They just flat out dropped the ball.  I will vote for new BOE candidates, but most parents seem to accept the status quo.

It is what it is.  There is no way to stop it now.  The best hope to get in a new BOE and hope they can improve it somehow.[/quote]
