[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for sharing.  However, I am not sure that your materials support your conclusion well.

What I've seen is that Asian families are firmly behind their kids in learning.  There seems no concept of closing achievement gap in Asian countries even though some countries (India/China) do voice for improving the quality of education in rural areas.

Honestly, I think that this curriculum 2.0 is a political product instead of any serious research.  It may close achievement gap within this great nation.  However, it is unfortunate that countries ahead in math education have no interest in closing global achievement gap at all.

Well, I really hope that you could show that I am totally wrong and show that this country is still hopeful.

Curriculum 2.0 attempts to artificially close this expanding gap in MCPS between Asians and everyone else!
