[quote=Anonymous][quote]Keep in mind that even though people are saying it is watered down..kids are still ending up in mostly the same place by high school. Most kids have taken algebra and a good number geometry. If that is where your son would have been in your old school then he is probably fine in MoCo.[/quote]

Not true at all. If your kid isn't going to pursue a STEM field in college, then I agree, it doesn't matter. If you think that your kid will pursue a STEM field then MCPS isn't the school system that you want. 2.0 is a local county interpretation of common core and the local curriculum has "redefined" what is in Algebra as well as everything else along the way. Its worse than watered down. It misses big gaps in math foundational skills, fluency, numerical relationships, equations, and the assessment component is gone.

MCPS lovers will rave how wonderful it is that math is so easy now BUT math being easy doesn't produce good outcomes. You need to prepare to hire tutors or basically home school math in the evenings. Sucks but it will take a long time to change. [/quote]
