[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re not doing it to save a buck. I really don’t like MCPS, but they are following industry practices here. No one throws a new curriculum into a whole school system all at once. [/quote]

it's not new. C2.0 was new to the world, new to MCPS, new to teachers, and not even completed when it was smashed and mashed in.

that failed.

now they are selecting an existing, effective curriculum, get teacher buy=in and then get it going.

seriously, why would anyone put their K-2 kid through MCPS the next 2-3 years with this BS going on. the only certain thing is terrible curriculum, disruntled teachers, experienced teachers leaving. [/quote]

Seriously, what do you recommend people do instead? I cannot afford private school. Are other public schools in the DMV significantly better? I find it hard to believe that they don't also have issues.

My older daughter starts kindergarten this fall. If MCPS really takes 3 years to implement the new curriculum, I imagine she will be subject to a mishmash of both curriculums.

What should parents of K-2 kids do in the next few years? Besides volunteer in the classroom (I'm skeptical that this will give me real insight about classroom dynamics)? [/quote]
