[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't view education as being confined to school.  You just can't.   Or your kids will suffer.   I get that there are things you want to improve in the County schools.   But I think you need to let go of not supplementing.  [/quote]

Op here.

Here's the thing: I went to private school (Catholic), and I received an excellent education. My parents didn't supplement...because they didn't need to.

We all know that 2.0 is crummy. The thread on former mcps students being so far behind when they move to other districts is appalling. The 2.0 defenders say that moving slowly and forcing kids to jump through multiple steps is better for them, but that simply isn't true. When will they admit their investment in 2.0 was a mistake?

The fact that parents must supplement is proof positive that mcps is subpar. [/quote]

My 8th grader is among the first class of kids to be subjected to 2.0 from 1st grade.  It remains to be seen if she is well prepared.  I feel like she has been held back by this curriculum and is capable of doing so much more.  I have been deeply disappointed by 2.0.  It stinks!  My other kids who went through MCPS before 2.0 was implemented received very good educations and are top performers at their colleges.  I am not sure that MCPS helped make them top performers or if they would be anyway.  I do feel, though, that they are well-prepared for college.  [/quote]
