[quote=Anonymous]Frustrated parent here.  I've been following all these 2.0 threads (and contributing to some).

Two things is clear from many of the posts: 1) many parents don't support 2.0 and 2) many parents believe there is noting they can do.

Ok.  So where does that leave us if we want action that will happen quickly enough to benefit our children?  Do we start protests at the schools (not at the central MCPS offices, but at our neighborhood schools)?  Do we reach out to media outlets?  What do we do that will shine the spotlight on this deeply flawed curriculum?

I happen to believe that what we need is publicity. When feeling disempowered, the best action is to find power in numbers and and to shine light on the problems.  Sometimes "speaking truth to power" seems impossible at the beginning, but with enough committed parents speaking together on this topic, there is no BOA and no superintendent and no bureaucracy that can withstand that pressure and that negative publicity.[/quote]
