[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just ask any remedial teacher at MoCO community college - they will tell you how unprepared the Curriculum 2.0 generation truly is….[/quote]

Curriculum 2.0 is gone but the new curriculum is not much better.  MCPS needs to go back to basics.  Start with textbooks, teaching spelling, vocubulaary, grammar and spend way more time on reading and math.  Math needs to go back to basics as well starting with math facts.  And, teaching handwriting and typing.   Way back when we had all that. [/quote]
Heck, just give them a piece of slate, stick of chalk, and make them walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways.  :roll: [/quote]

+1. Folks always want to go back to “good ole times.”  Meanwhile the world is moving forward.  How much more time do you expect them to spend on reading and math.  Its taught everyday in elementary and are the largest blocks of the day?[/quote]
Falling reading and math scores over the last decade would say that it's still not enough.  Or that it's being done poorly which speaks to the curriculum.  As school districts pivot to cater to the poor and ESOL, they are neglecting the high and middle performing students.  A woke curriculum will make things even worse for everyone.[/quote]
