First world problems are still problems by the way. If we want to be a first world country, we have to keep challenging our kids and 2.0 isn't really going in that direction. Sure there will be great teachers who will continue to do a great job and go above and beyond. The point is that the curriculum makes it harder for them to do that.

Sorry, let's try that again...


I have a child who attends Oakland Terrace in Silver Spring, and I regularly talk with parents before and after school and at PTA meetings. I have never discussed Curriculum 2.0 with anyone that I can recall. So far the summary of what I have heard about it on DCUM is "my 6th grader can no longer take algebra." First world problems!

Do you get out much or speak to other parents? I have friends in several scools in MCPS who hate 2.0. I haven't met anyone who likes it (and who has a child in it). Obviously some people do like it but I wonder how much of that is love for the teacher and not the grading system or curriculum.

DCUM may not represent all of Montgomery County but it is a sampling of parents who exist so if it's on here, it exists elsewhere.

I would really like to contact someone at MCPS and talk to them about this ridiculous grading system.

Does anyone know if there is an actual petition and if there is a place to send comments?

I've seen the video. What is unintelligible about it?

Watch the video the school system produced about 2.0. At our school, the parents burst out laughing because it is completely unintelligible. Bureaucrats run amok - MCPS.
