[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those families and children sufficiently challenged with curriulum 2.0 obviously may show little concern for other kids twiddling their thumbs; even if some of these same kids are asked to mentor their own children in the classroom by the teacher.[/quote]

Actually, I think the parents of the students who are "twiddling their thumbs" show no concern about the other children in the class.  These parents are too busy "advocating" for the needs of their own children.   [/quote]

What is your point?  You want the bored, gifted students to teach your kids and do the group work singlehandedly?  Everyone in class should "hang out" or do easy menial exercises while waiting?  Day after day...[/quote]

I don't get these arguments.  Why does this have to be an us vs them situation.   In the past, MCPS was able to handle kids moving at different speeds.  Math Pathways is a perfect example of this. Other school systems also are able to handle kids with different abilities.  There is no reason why all kids can't be challenged.  It is not about pitting one group versus another.  Why settle for one size fits all, when we can have several sizes for everyone.[/quote]
