[quote=Anonymous]9:38 again. To the PP: Many folks criticized MCPS in the past for pushing kids along too quickly with math without teaching a solid foundation of the basics. So while a kid might be able to rattle off a few multiplication facts, they might not really understand the concept.  That's one of the reasons they began 2.0.  And my point is that even with 2.0, kids are still being challenged appropriately (ie: my first grade nephew who is doing 2nd grade math).  And while I realize the education system has changed since I was a schoolgirl, I'm not sure it's necessarily changed for the better. I went to an old-school private with a very traditional curriculum and went on to very well in college and law school --- but I'm not as confident that my children will receive a better education than I did despite the "progress" that you say has been made. I'd much rather have my kids in MCPS spend a little less time on math and writing and MORE time on science and social studies. 2.0 claims they would do that --- but I'm not seeing it. [/quote]
