[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math is becoming a disaster on all fronts. [b]I'm guessing that the idea was to level everyone in elementary school so they could elevate the low performers and put a ceiling on the high performers to hit the needed average test scores. [/b]Yes, 2.0 is intended to accelerate kids that would have been in the "grade level" or bottom group of the previous MCPS math curriculum. It also de-accelerates everyone else. The only equity gained is that most kids are not working at the right level or learning math. [/quote] This is a math disaster. Raising the low scores and lowering the high scores does not raise the average. Also, which "everyone else" does it de-accelerate, exactly? The students who previously would have taken Algebra I in 8th grade but will now instead take Algebra I in 8th grade?[/quote]
