[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:14: You ask for evidence. I'm not original poster, but here's some:

Teacher tells me at P-T conference that lesson plans were made to give my child and another 5 minutes of math at their level. Teacher recognized that the rest of the time these children were essentially doing review. This was a very good teacher doing the best he could in the confines of curriculum 2.0.

Child entered K reading chapter books. Put in classroom where no other child was reading and children were just learning letters. With much effort on my part, school agreed child needed more, agreed to a plan, then didn't have the resources to implement. School wouldn't move child for reading to a different grade.

Child got accepted to HGC. Teacher told me child HAS to go. Teacher tells me child can't get what he needs at current school. So, not just parent saying school can't accommodate. It's an insider who knows child and the system saying it.

Do you need more?[/quote]

This sounds to me like a school problem, not a Curriculum 2.0 problem.[/quote]
