[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am much like the OP. I have a 1st grader who has been under this curriculum since kindergarten and it all seems fine to me. He seems to be adept at math and is doing the more challenging of the worksheets that come home -- in fact, doing things I don't remember doing until later grades. He likes school and he comes home with lots of reports of interesting work. What is all this talk of disaster and betrayal and corrupt politicians? Some of these posters really need to relax.

If your kid loves math and knows more than the teacher, then bring them home and give them your own worksheets from 3:30-8:00 and chill out.[/quote]

Most parents I talk with don't feel like you PP.  Some of us older parents know what came before 2.0, even what came before Everyday Math, so we have seen the decline in the curriculum over a wider period of time than the two years your child has vested in the system.  You may not realize how much the current system sucks because you and your child have nothing to compare it to.

Good luck.  See where your child is at graduation.  I am using Singapore Math with my child at home so my child will be prepared for the real world.  Some parents don't have the time, energy, and resources to supplement privately and frankly, since kids spend 6 hours of day at school, private supplementation shouldn't be necessary.  But supplementation at this stage in the game is necessary because MCPS is failing our kids. [/quote]
