[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is familiar to the Romnesque disaster in progress.

Romney (and the Republican party) and MCPS leadership are peas in a pod:  Etch-a-sketch, flip-flop, power point smoke and mirrors designed to avoid responding directly to questions from parents, children and the electorate.  This has gone on for at least 2 years in regard curriculum 2.0.

I laugh when I hear the various MCPS principals, teachers and MCPS leadership attempt to transmit the "talking points from downtown" about curriculum 2.0.  Every parent gets a different take and message depending on which MCPS principal, elementary school teacher of MCPS bureaucrat you talk with.  Things are rotten in the State of Denmark.  I smell a rat.

For the last 2 years we have heard a lot of different messages from assorted MCPS messengers:

All children will get math education appropriate for their level of mastery.  We will differentiate math instruction in all classes.  Children will not have to repeat math work already mastered.  No child will accelerate or advance in math if appropriate.  Children will be allowed to advance or accelerate.  We still approve of kids taking geometry in 8 th grade.  We don't approve of children taking algebra in elementary school.  The teachers are learning the system.  We have no metrics to assess how kids in curriculum 2.0.  We do have metrics to assess our children in curriculum 2.0. We are not targeting the GT crowd.  We are not targeting the aboe average students in the curriculum.  Which 47% is MCPS teaching to? Flip, flop, flip, flop, flip, flop ....blah, blah blah...social engineering...close the achievement gap with lying statistics ...

Does this all sound familiar in light of the current election climate.

MCPS flip-flopping, etch-a-sketch, power point lies.

Some one has already stated this is a disaster in the making.

On the contrary, the disaster is already here.  Just look at the mixed messages and the incompetent roll out and execution.[/quote]
Yeap, agreed. They are good at nice talking without saying anything substantial. Whenever I hear the word "stakeholder", I just want to run away :)
