[b]Curious to know if your older child was in the less advanced classes.[/b] I understand that there was stigma before with being in the basic rather than the accelerated or advanced classes. The parents with older kids that I know all have kids who are advanced at math so they see a sharp decline. I know one parent who is relieved that their younger child doesn't have to worry about being in the low math class. She's open that her kid isn't strong in math.

Beyond making kids that don't understand as quickly feel better, which I actually agree is an important goal, I don't see that 2.0 is helping them. It won't prepare then for math at a selective university and it won't prepare them for a STEM career. If they don't develop the fluency, it will impede there scores down the road as no points are given for circle drawing on the SAT. [/quote]

No. My older child was (and still is) advanced at math. My younger child is also advanced at math.[/quote]
