[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ok, DS is only in second grade, so our only experience is with 2.0. It doesn't seem that bad to me. DS is bright, his class has 4 math groups, so there is differentiation in the classroom. He still gets everything right on math tests, but we are not up in arms about it. When DS was a baby and I checked this forum about schools, I seem to recall parents being very critical of Everyday Math. So, are people simply never satisfied with math instruction?[/quote]

My daughter took Algebra 1 in the 5th grade in MCPS.  Her younger brothers' performance and knowledge base in math were ahead of her in the lower elementary school grades.  Now, can you imagine what those boys have been doing the last 2 years without differentiation or an ability to move ahead in their current math classes (short of reading novels during math period while waiting for the class to move on and then being sent to the Principal's office for being disruptive)?  My children are not geniuses, but I do know and understand when they each have mastered the curriculum.  Perhaps, if you were in their shoes you would understand the situation.  I cannot speak for others ... only my own.  I am no fan of curriculum 2.0, terrible execution by teachers and administrators, the lack of subject differentiation, the poor math teaching and the banning of acceleration in math for capable and willing students.[/quote]
