[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait, another huge communication error from MCPS?  Who would have thought...

[b]I am still figuring out why my 1st grader has to pull numbers from a basic addition problem and show 700 ways to do it. [/b] They wonder why parents think it is all nonsense.  there are ZERO workbooks, textbooks, or communication from the teachers.  So for me, this 2.0 sucks because I can't even explain to my 6yr old why she needs to do it this way.  UGH![/quote]

My child's MCPS elementary school has an annual math curriculum night for the parents that is very helpful. If I were you, I would ask the principal for something like that at your child's school.[/quote]

So one school has one night where some parents might be able to come out and that helps, what?  1-2% of the parents in the county to understand.

If there needs to be curriculum nights to explain things, I think it is a proven point that it is too confusing.  [/quote]

I am the PP you are responding to. I hope that my child's elementary school is not the only elementary school in MCPS to have a curriculum night. I would be very surprised if that were the case.

Also, I don't think that the standard for a curriculum should be, "Don't do anything unless all parents are immediately able to comprehend it without having been in class or knowing anything about the curriculum."

Do you want to learn about the math curriculum? If so, there are plenty of resources, in addition to a curriculum night. If you just want to complain about it, well, you're all set for that without any further effort.[/quote]
