I'd be more concerned with the fact that in third grade in European, Korean, Russian, chinese, and japanese schools they are learning, or shall we say "mastering", much higher level maths, grammar and sciences than MoCo ever will.[/quote]

PP, suppose you find some sample third-grade curricula from Europe (actually a continent, not a country), Korea, Russia, China, and Japan, and post them here? Then we can compare them to Montgomery County.[/quote]

Actually I'm British and have lived in Japan and France, thanks. And yes, most of Europe has a more rigorous and accelerated curricula than Core 2.0 in America. Especially the track countries like Germany where as a teenager you are tested and allowed access to certain professions' majors as a 15 yo. Don't get me started on cram school and testing in Korea or Japan.  And as you know, in England if you do not test well after year 2 of "high school" you stop, no additional two years of A levels for you.

Anyhow, in my firsthand experience, it is amazing what children can learn and accomplish when challenged. That is the goal for all of my children: reach full potential. Not full proficiency as defined by my county that wants fed funds for 2.0 and higher average test scores to get it.[/quote]
