[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what the MCPS curriculum is for Geometry?

Thus far, very little information has been provided to the schools and parents.  The teacher said at back to school night that they do not have the entire curriculum for the year.  Units are given to them as they are written.  The schools can supplement material from the old curriculum as they see fit and necessary.  Each school is developing their own plan to deal with the chaos at hand.  They are revising the curriculum as each school team sees fit and as difficulties arise through the process.  No school is on the same page as far as what the kids need to learn to be successful in the course.

Meanwhile, while the teachers are saying "Oops.  That didn't work." what is happening to the opportunity wasted for teaching kids a fundamental high school course?  How is this going to impact kids who aspire for college and a well paying career after high school?

Does the MCPS Administration care that schools are independently choosing what to teach and that the implementation of Geometry 2.0 is in the toilet?  Did the care about Algebra 2.0 last year?

Someone at the top of the food chain should be held accountable and loose their job for not investigating the implementation of the new curriculum to ensure teachers are trained, schools have the resources, and everyone is teaching the same course.                      [/quote]
