[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The report cards under this new system make it virtually impossible to know if your child is advanced (and needs enrichment) or is falling behind (and needs help).  This is the reason so many parents hate curriculum 2.0.  It is a load of nonsense and the kids suffer.[/quote]

First of all, how do YOU, the parent, not know you child's skill level.

Furthermore, there are differentiated groups.  My daughter is in the highest math and reading groups, as they're constantly being assessed.  Groups are flexible. So if little Bobby improves in reading, he'll move up.

How can so many of you be that clueless?

and these are forums for the so called "intelligent" city and suburban folks?  [/quote]

What are you talking about?  Do you have a kid at MCPS in 1st or 2nd grade.  Differentiated math groups??  Not in our school.  Yes, DD has reading groups, but since she's in the highest group, it only meets once every other week (if that).  And, math has just been a huge waste of time for us in ES.  No, my kid's not a math genius, but the stuff they do in the early grades has just been a joke.

Yes, I (and it sounds like the OP) know our kid's skill level.  That is why we are so frustrated.  We see that there is no improvement, and that our kids are just stagnating.  [/quote]
3rd grade min here:
My kid is in differentiated groups in reading and math 
As my child has improved in math she has been given more challenging work
We get notes, comments, helpful info from the teacher.
So your experience is different than mine.
We are happy with 2.0.
Is it perfect ,  no!
Was the prior curriculum, no?
Change is challenging and a lot of folks get so nervous if they cannot be assured by kindergarten that little Jonnie is going to Harvard.[/quote]

You are lucky, not all kids are getting that
