[quote=Anonymous]The elementary curriculum was slow, repetitive, and boring for my child.  Now that my youngest is taking IM, he has MORE gaps than my prior kids who were under the old curriculum for elementary school.

With that being said, I think the Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2 curriculum has potential if teachers actually teach the curriculum with the materials that have been developed and in the order the new curriculum has been designed to be taught.  One teacher my son had was actually on the writing team and the class was very engaging and he was very proficient in the material.

He now struggles with a teacher who started using the new county materials then gave up and reverted to her old lesson plans and textbook.  His class and the other classes at our high school are struggling to pass the county assessments despite getting As and Bs on the school assessments.  Given the poor prognosis for the midyear exam, they have spent since January 4th teaching for the exam.  This is a teacher and ultimately an administrative problem at the school because they are NOT teaching the curriculum as it has been designed to be taught.
