[quote=Anonymous]I hate the new curriculum 2.0. I have 3 kids, grades 1,3 and 5. Saying it's bad is understatement. Not only it doesn't accelerate the learning, but it slows down the more advanced kids. My 3rd grader did math for grade 3, when he was in grade 2. This year he is back to doing grade 2 math. Can you believe it, he is asked to draw pictures of the numbers (squares and dots) to subtract, instead of actually doing it.
I haven't met a single parent who likes it. I feel I am failing my kids, because I can't afford to pull them out of that rubbish curriculum and put them in a private school.
I do work extra with my kids to teach them the basics of math, writing and reading, but the teachers said not to do it, because it would confuse the kid. WHAT???????

In addition to the math failure, the reading/writing part is even worse. Can you believe that the kids are not expected to write if they don't want to. It's enough to be able to express their opinion on what they are doing in class.

Some bonus to the whole flop is that the kids will no longer have unit tests. They will be tested immediately after having the lesson taught. This means that they no longer have to work on their long term memory. All they have to do is remember what the teacher just said and repeat it.

This is a total failure. I cannot believe that someone actually worked on that curriculum and thought it was good.[/quote]
