All - The Washington Post Metro Section ran a front page article about mounting concern with Curriculum 2.0's math curriculum. 

Parents from all corners of Montgomery County are organizing and speaking out against the new "one-size-fits-all" approach. 

If you have any concerns at all, please show show your support at the next Board of Education Meeting 

Tuesday December 11, 2012 at 10:00 am (public comment period runs from 10:30 to 11:00 am). 

We are presenting the petition to the Board at this meeting and pressing our case for reform.
