[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was interested in the center for next year (for my current 3rd grader), but her teacher says that the GT center will be implementing curriculum 2.0 next year.  She laughed (the "how pathetic is that" not the "how funny is that" laugh) when she told me.  Ridiculous!  I want to get this child away from 2.0 b/c she's bored out of her mind.  I don't think there's much of a future for the center if the administration implements 2.0 there.
Anyone else worried about this?[/quote]

If you are relying on one teacher, who does not work in the Center, for your info, you should think again.  Your DD's teacher doesn't know what she is talking about.  The application of 2.0 to the Center program has not yet been determined (I know this for a fact), but to the extent that it is applied, it will be done in a way that recognizes the needs of the Center population.

Moreover (and I also know this for a fact), ultimately Center teachers teach what they are going to teach, regardless of what the MCPS mandate is.  These teachers know what they need to do, and they do it.
