Montgomery County’s Elementary School Curriculum: Where’s the Beef?
9/24/2014 | Education Next blog

In his column, Jay Mathews highlights a blog entry by Mike Petrilli about the weak, content-free curriculum being taught to his first grader in the Montgomery County, Md. public schools.  Mathews continues, “Petrilli’s complaint reveals why many people support the Common Core and why it is likely to be a hot topic at PTA meetings for many years to come.”

Mike Petrilli’s blog entry, “Montgomery County’s Elementary School Curriculum: Where’s the Beef?” is available on the Ed Next blog.
