[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the posts on this forum it sounds like the shortcomings of 2.0 are that it has assessment categories / skill areas that are either not appropriate for the age group and/or are somewhat ambiguous (someone mentioned Thinking Outside the Box as an assessment area).  Also sounds like grading criteria are unclear.  Lastly, I've read multiple complaints that the curriculum is not sufficiently rigorous, particularly in math.  Have I captured the key issues or are there other things that make 2.0 frustrating? My daughter is still in pre school so I don't have any first hand experience to draw from.  [/quote]

There are other problems with 2.0. The biggest to me being that teachers have not been adequately trained in how to teach it and what to do, so the benefits of an integrated curriculum are not being implemented.  The stated goal is for everyone to be proficient (which is a ridiculous goal all by itself), which is not clearly-defined.  The report cards provide no roadmap on how parents can help their child improve.  In my son's elementary school, the majority of students get P's, no one gets ES and a few get I's.  The county has stated that ES is a grade for the top 1%.  I say if that is the case, why have the grade?[/quote]

How did the ABCD report cards provide a roadmap to how teacher could help child perform?[/quote]
