[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Now I'm about to paste in the official summary of Curriculum 2.0. You can all see what it says. It says that our children are being taught to juggle chainsaws. If you don't see it in there, it's just because they are trying to cover it up.

--New internationally driven standards in math, reading, and writing 
--Renewed focus on teaching the whole child 
--Nurtures skills that build confidence and success 
--Engages students beyond reading and math, to spark greater interest 
in science, social studies, information literacy, art, music, physical 
education, and health 
--Integrates thinking, reasoning, and creativity for a lifetime of learning 
--Enhances learning by connecting subjects [/quote]

One critical aspect of curriculum 2.0 that you have excluded (perhaps inadvertently):  students that has mastered the content of this curriculum (curriculum 2.0) will no longer be allowed to move up.  Even if this mastery is ascertained at the beginning of the school year the child must remain in the assigned classroom and repeat the content.  This is particularly germane for any student in mathematics.  There are no longer any pathways for advancement even if the child has mastered the math content at the start of the school year.[/quote]
