[quote=Anonymous]I have an older child and a younger one that has been in 2.0. The previous curriculum and report card was so much better. The previous curriculum also included more written assessments and tests. Now, the grades come from teacher observations so you really have no way of knowing how your child is doing even if you don't care about not getting grades anymore.

I've attended a few parent education sessions and these are REALLY bad.

First, it comes off as complete bull shit.

Second, its just not credible as the same administrators who were raving about their previous curriculum and report card are now trashing it saying 'it was never any good and now 2.0 is here to save the day'. Trust me, if you ever raised a question or issue before the party line was "we have the best curriculum, there are no problems" and amazingly within one year that all changed.

Third, the parents are being ignored. The third grade parents were very upset this year when 2.0 rolled out. Rather than do anything substantive, our principal actually made the statement that the parents who experienced the older system will age out of the system and eventually no one will no what it used to be like and everyone will just accept 2.0. Great plan...screw up the curriculum and hope that eventually people will not know any better. [/quote]
