[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what we parents can do to get rid of 2.0?  [/quote]

My husband and I are contacting our representatives in Annapolis.  We are also going to throw our votes to anyone running for office who does not support 2.0 no matter what their position is on any other issue.  I'm not sure if 2.0 is getting funding from Annapolis but if so it should be eliminated.

Look at who the Maryland governor has appointed to serve on the State Board of Education.  Almost none have any background or formal training in education.  Total crap.  This decision to go with a system like 2.0 ultimately rests with the Governor, the State Board of Education, Starr, and the MCPS Board of Education.  You want change, they all have to go.

Life long Democrat here.  I feel totally railroaded and disenfranchised over this issue.  Will through my money, time, effort, and vote to anyone willing to challenge 2.0.  As I see it, that is our only option.[/quote]

I'm not sure that state policymakers can do anything to help here.  Yes, Maryland has adopted the common core state standrards, like most other states, but this is really an issue regarding implementation at the local level.  Local advocacy seems like it would be most useful and perhaps media attention with stories re: kids who are no longer being challenged.[/quote]
