[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. ANY textbook would be better than 2.0 worksheets. If I could have a textbook next year, I could work with that book with DC instead of running to online resources and buying supplemental books. [/quote]

Do they actually have official worksheets?  We have not gotten anything that actually looks official but we only have a handful returned.  Agree, text books would be nice, especially if they are allowed home.[/quote]

The funny thing is that when common core came along, many textbook writers already had like 95% of the common core content. All they needed to do was add a few things and take out a few things. They did just that very quickly. So my question is, why did MCPS not simply buy those books. 
I am saddened that $10M was spent on a consultation that would not have been necessary if the county had just bought a curriculum. 
I am also disappointed about MCPS' arrogance. [/quote]

This. My sister is a teacher in another state (MA) and thought the transition to meet the Common Core standards was pretty smooth because her district just made minor adjustments (rather than rewriting the entire curriculum).[/quote]
