[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]By eliminating opportunities for achievement, enrichment and acceleration (where appropriate), it seems like 2.0 wants to dismantle the very things that made MCPS so good in the past.[/b] Why? Why? Why? Who's ideology is driving this? Is it Sup. Starr? Is it the school board? Who? Parents deserve answers and kids deserve better![/quote]

I agree with this statement. We got to this point by the system being too big and top down, enough parents having the financial resources to just walk away go to private or do tutoring outside of school, a defensive mindset within MCPS, and Starr's shortcomings as a leader. Starr did not kick off the ball t develop 2.0 but the complete failure and rigidity in implementation is on him. His arrogance and dismissal of any parent or teacher concern means that any improvement or change will be a hard fought battle.

Re-introducing acceleration and a rational grading system would not mean that everything in 2.0 would need to be thrown out. There is no reason why a performance based grading system can not work with this curriculum. MCPS desperately wants everyone to believe that what is done is done and can't be altered. This is just completely untrue. [/quote]
