[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, as I said my DD is in K. She is reading at a 3rd or 4th grade level. Other kids in the class are still having trouble identifying letters.

Obviously the latter group of kids needs attention to become proficient, while my DD does not, since she is already proficient. So I am worried that with this new grading system, [b]there does not seem to be any motivation to provide the more advanced kids with appropriate material since they are already "proficient."[/b]

As a teacher, why bother with ES when a third of your class isn't P yet?[/quote]

BINGO -  That is the main problem with 2.0.  The aim is for "Proficiency".  My son spends most of his day learning "independently" because he is already proficient.  Differentiation in the classroom means he sits and does his worksheets without any instruction or feedback from the teacher.  There is no longer a place for him with Curriculum 2.0.  He is not being challenged or taught any new concepts.  He just sits and does busy work because the teacher focuses on the kids who aren't proficient yet.  [/quote]
