[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the times that I wish DCUM had regular user logins is times like this, where I want everyone to know that I'm a regular MCPS defender and all around pretty rational about the quality of education my kids are receiving.

So, just trust me that I'm not a complainer, and am generally happy with the schools.

Now, onward: This is a boondoggle. There are proven and effective curricula out there. How hard would it be to CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE???

Stop with the experimentation, and with trying to be cutting edge and pick the "up and coming" vendor.

Go back to the basics and pick something known to work. It is the only way we might start to patch the holes left by 2.0. Unless Smith is ready to lose an entire "generation" of MCPS kids, they need to pick something - with urgency - that can begin to remediate the massive problems with the old curriculum.

Our kids do not have time to wait, and they don't have time for more tinkering around the edges.

Yes! How hard can this be? Jesus Christ. What should we as parents do?  Write emails to the BOE?  Who else?[/quote]

There was a parent survey, which I think is now closed. Yes, write letters to the BOE and to Smith. My impression of Smith is that he's a decent guy doing a hard job and forced to triage the most pressing needs. But this needs to be top of the list for sure. [/quote]
