[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think every parent should complain as loudly as we can. The way 2.0 was implemented was [b]nothing short of criminal negligence.[/b] Sure, some kids are going to be fine no matter what happens. Their native intelligence and advantaged circumstance protected them from an inadequate education at school. But for the majority of the students, 2.0 was a massive failure as the JHU studies pointed out in student performance changes relative to neighboring district.  MCPS needs to be rebuked and held accountable by every stakeholder. Your child may be fine but the school reputation and your property value may be affected as well.  Just tell others to shut up is not the answer when the external audit is so black and white. [/quote]

Agree. I am from a developing nation and if my relatives back home saw some of the worksheets, they would laugh. I had a baby sitter from Spain, who was a teacher there, and she begged me to complain. Typos like the diagram not matching up with the words in the question, stuff like that.

I remember years ago watching a movie about a man who gave his wife money to buy their daughter a dress. The mother got a brilliant idea and decided to buy fabric to make a dress instead, even though she was not a seamstress. The dress was a complete failure and the daughter was very upset. When the father found out, he yelled at his wife and asked why she didn't just buy a d-m dress.

I want to ask MCPS, why they didn't just buy a d-m curriculum. [/quote]

Exactly. I think many parents who assumed all was fine did not actually spend time helping their kids with homework, or perhaps did not have kids who complained about the curriculum. We pulled my son out of MCPS after third grade. I wanted to yank him mid-year and wish we had. He’s in s private school now and is still struggling to catch up in math. [/quote]
