[quote=Anonymous]Many parents who were raised in this country have started to protest 2.0 Math, because they have realized that it is inferior to pre 2.0 Math. These parents at the very least want the standard of curriculum that they themselves had when they were students.

[quote]For many parents who were not raised in this country, we were protesting even the pre 2.0 Math, because we were used to even more rigorous Math curriculum in our own birth countries. We were supplementing even before 2.0, because we too at the very least want the standard of curriculum for our children, that we grew up with.

Yes, it is more toil for the parents now because they are managing jobs, households as well as our kid's education. We can protest all we want but before there is any impact, our kids would be out of the MCPS system. So, we all do what we have to do.

[b]If you were raised in an Asian country, I give no credence to this complaint. In a lot of the high achieving Asian countries, kids go to afterschool tutoring for hours everyday, and most on Saturdays, too.

If you were raised in a heavily socialist, homogeneous European country, I also don't give credence to your argument because you grew up with a lot of social benefits that most of the kids in the US don't have.

I'm sure you didn't expect the US to be like your home country. The US has a lot of challenges in educating kids that most other countries don't have.[/quote]

You don't have to go to an Asian country for weekend tutoring.  They do this in Montgomery County.  Have you attended any MCPS school over the weekends?  Asian tutoring parlors.  I wonder what MCPS (Starr) does with all the proceeds (rentals/fees)?[/quote]
