[quote=Anonymous][quote]Seriously, I get the anger. I've read all these posts. I am just an analytical, often skeptical person, and I would like to base my views on this on real comparative educational data. If people are saying the curriculum is dumbed down compared to that of other nations, I want to see that. I don't want to hear about what someone remembers from when they were a kid in Europe, or what anyone has heard from parents in Japan. I would like to see if there is anything out there describing the math work that early elementary school students are doing abroad, so I can compare it directly with what my child is doing. If there is no data, this is all baseless hysteria.[/quote]

I understand your frustration and need for data.   I have 2 children currently in MCPS elementary schools.  I have all the data (plenty) I need.  The execution of curriculum 2.0 for each of these kids is a disaster.  Their older sister was just one step ahead of this nonsense and was appropriately accelerated beginning in Grade 2.  Her siblings -- more advanced than her at that stage -- are in limbo (2 years and counting). [/quote]
