[quote=Anonymous]THe link does not contain the article but thanks anyway.  That being said, parents should understand their children are indeed being used as guinea pigs without parental or student consent and without the option of acceleration in the old system.  Curiculum 2.0 has not been validated as a worthy educational instrument in any independent group of elementary students.  Thus, we have no data whether this new instructional format is predictable, valid and reliable.  Montgomery County children are indeed both test and validation cohort for this experiment. No other school County will purchase this curriculum unless it has undergone validation in an independent cohort of children in a properly controlled fashion.  From where I sit, completion of appropriate validation is at least a decade away.   I would not advise any other County school system to chuck their system, wholesale on a dime (like MCPS), until this is done.  Piloting the new curriculum is the best one can do today.[/quote]
