[quote=Anonymous]My DS was in the pilot year of 2.0 in second. So, I have no idea if things have improved since then. It was clear the teacher was very alarmed by the new approach. We set up a conference because all they were doing were story problems involving two-digit addition without an algorithm. She said there were enrichment materials for anyone like DS who had mastered the material and we were right to ask. We said if it's story problems about three-digit addition without an algorithm, that's not going to help. Sure enough that's what started coming home. The teacher's hands were completely tied. But at the end of the year she was able to get DS moved to the accelerated math group (which still existed in those days) and that allowed him to avoid 2.0 until 5th grade when the compacted 5 curriculum was rolled out.
