[quote=Anonymous][quote]Perhaps you meant to say, "My kid in this 2.0 curriculum is really getting the shaft"? Because the curriculum being bad for one kid doesn't mean it's bad for all kids.

Really?  I thought the general idea about curriculum 2.0 was the concept of a [b]standard [/b]curriculum. This person is not alone in their disdain for the curriculum 2.0, lots of parents (and kids) don't like the dumbing down of the curriculum.  It's not just one kid that is being underserved.

I'm not a fan of homework in 4th/5th grade, they will have plenty of time for homework later on in their school careers.  My child is in the HGC and has very little homework and I am thrilled.

I can't judge if the homework is too easy because she is highly gifted in math so not much is challenging for her math wise, but it appears to be on target and not that advanced.  I can tell you that the homework she had last year in regular class was ridiculous, seriously my kindergarten could have done most of it.

Her nightly assignment is also to do 10 minutes of math facts, and that makes a lot of sense to me.  The quicker they can do math in their head the faster they can do word problems and apply concepts.[/quote]
