[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common Core is a set of standards.

CPM is a curriculum that was designed years ago.   Schools can implement it, and teachers can teach it, and they can say they are adopting it to meet Common Core standards.

CPM may help students reach the standards set by Common Core or it may not.   But the standards themselves do not require your child's teacher to refuse to speak with children, or require your child's school to provide an 8th grade text book in 5th grade.  Those are school decisions.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that.  You'll just have to find out the hard way. [/quote]

I have two kids in PG County schools.   They switched to a new textbook this year - don't know what the name is -- but it seems much better than past years.   We aren't having tons of problems like you seem to be having.    The kids are developing basic number sense, are mastering facts fluently, and are spending more time on fewer subjects.  They don't have to do 5 page word problems.[/quote]

And the new textbook is aligned with Common Core objectives, as well.  So CPM isn't the only one out there.  Your school could have chosen differently.[/quote]
