[b]To counter, DH and I are Ph.D.'s in a heavy math field and we do not like 2.0.

We don't mind the depth and breadth of 2.0 and we agree this approach is great for teaching kids that might otherwise find math difficult.   What we DO mind is that the 2.0 approach assumes that even after adding such depth and breadth, there are no children who can handle those extensions and still move at a faster pace than others.  MCPS may have accelerated too much in the past but they have swung the pendulum too far in the other direction for 2.0.  There are DEFINITELY children who can learn all the various techniques provided in 2.0 and still do it at a faster pace and do so at earlier grades than offered - compacted 4-5 mat[/b]h.[/quote]

To summarize:  there are people with valid points both in favor of 2.0 math and against 2.0 math.

Which makes me wonder why so many posters on DCUM keep insisting that EVERYBODY (except possibly [insulting insults go here]) hates 2.0 math.[/quote]

I am PP in bold before - nowhere did I say anything about our opinion applying to everybody - so I hope you are not referring to my post in that manner...

No, I apologize! I certainly wasn't referring to your post. [/quote]
