[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually 2.0 will still allow Algebra in 8th grade for stronger students so that will not exactly fix things for MCPS.[/quote]

this is getting phased out and the Curric 2.0 students get up to middle school. by the time a full-fledged students gets through K-8 in Core Curric 2.0 they will have covered a fraction of what they would have w/o the *new* curriculum.  
good luck competing or handling a real courseload.  maybe Starr can dumb down the university system and job interview processes too. [/quote]

No. Algebra I in 8th grade is on grade level under 2.0. (Which, please note, is a year ahead of math in the school systems the children of my friends elsewhere go to. In their school systems, Algebra I in 8th grade is above-grade-level.)

(Anyway, even if it were true, what fraction would they have covered? 12/11? 22/7? 187/5?  Those are fractions too.)

What's more -- these children did not do 2.0. So the failure rates have nothing to do with 2.0. So why are we talking about 2.0?[/quote]
