[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It hasn't been a disaster at my ES.[/quote]
Where? And what has been smooth/beneficial about it? Not being snarky -- we are moving and I genuinely want to know. Thanks.

For smooth: I don't have a rising 4th grader, so I don't know specifically how the school has dealt with who qualifies for compacted math 4/5. In general, however, the school is well-administered and runs smoothly, and the implementation of Curriculum 2.0 has not been an exception.

For beneficial: I have said on DCUM, and apparently will keep saying, [b]that 2.0 first grade, compared to pre-2.0 first grade, has more science, more social studies, less test drill, more interesting reading, more interesting writing, and more emphasis on math fundamentals.[/b][/quote]

What school is your DC attending?[/quote]

I would also like to know what school PP's child was attending.  My child attends Beverly Farms.  He did not have the same experience as PP's child.  I would pull him out if I could afford the tuition at a local private school.  As it stands, I supplement what the school is not providing with activities at home.

In my opinion, 2.0 has serious issues as well as the staff at Beverly Farms is doing a poor job meeting children's needs while the are still learning how to implement it.  It would have been much better if MCPS would have tested the program on a small student population then allowed time for staff training before implementing it county wide.[/quote]
