[quote=Anonymous]While I am an ardent opponent of eliminating the math pathways I do not oppose the County attempting to pilot a new curriculum--if done in a thoughtful, prudent and ethical manner ensuring no harm or jeopardy to student academic and intellectual development and progress.  MCPS is negligent on all the above counts.

MCPS assumes curriculum 2.0 is better than the old curriculum.  Is this true?  Where is the preliminary or established data to prove this assertion?  Are both curriculae equal alternatives?  Is there any uncertainty between these two options (concept of equipose)?

If one assumes curriculum 2.0 is the "better" curriculum?  What do you do for students who have already mastered it at a particular grade level?  Is the assertion we have found a curriculum for which no student at a particular grade level can possibly master (e.g., K, 1, 2, ...)?  If so, how do we know and measure this?

So far, MCPS has been mum or evasive at best, preferring not to directly address questions from parents and students in favor of hiding behind talking points from the "leadership" and the numbing [i]Power Point[/i] smoke screen.[/quote]
