[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was open minded about 2.0. DD went to a good preschool but isn't a brilliant, genius. The K curriculum was less than what she did as a four year old in preschool. [b]She learned nothing new the entire year. I didn't get upset because this is kindergarten. I assumed that the school was leveling and if some kids didn't know their letters then all kids just had to sit through it. So far, first grade has been just, if not more, disappointing.

On observation day, the parents watched while the teacher put up two letters for a beginning sounds and then several pictures. All the kids had to raise their hand and answer which picture started with the sounds. This is not age appropriate for 1st grade. Preschool, OK. Kindergarten, bad but OK. 1st grade? No way. The math is even worse.

I have spoken to other parents with kids older than my DD. The general consensus among everyone that I have spoken with is that no one is happy about 2.0. The only thing that exists is degrees of whether you think there is any point speaking up. [/quote]

She learned nothing new the entire year. Nothing new. Really? Nothing?

Also, how do you know that 2.0 requires every teacher in MCPS to do what your first grader's teacher did on observation day? This is a serious question. How do you know this? I'm asking because it sure isn't my experience with 2.0 in my kid's school.

(And yes, at least one person is happy about 2.0. Me.)[/quote]
