[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the teachers don't understand how to do/teach the math, then your child will suffer. That said, I have a DC that was a guinea pig for every year of 2.0, but her math foundation is stronger than older sibling who was on an accelerated track in the old system. The previous math system in MCPS was supremely broken, this method is teaching math fundamentals and these students will do better in high school math (which is what prompted the switch in the first place).[/quote] All of this is my experience as well. But yes, it does no good to change the curriculum but not train the teachers. I don't know how much training the teachers had. At least neither of my children has ever encountered a math teacher like one math teacher I had, who discouraged the girls from going on to accelerated math because math is hard.[/quote]
