Flopped 2 pair but don't know what to do with it

Check-calling the flop and check-folding the turn when you flop 2 pair is bad. Can we all agree on that? Part of the value in betting the flop is that it makes the rest of the hand less of a guessing game.

Yes, I agree. But the point at which I would deviate from check-call, check-fold is at the first check. As you say, betting the flop makes the hand less of a guessing game. Having checked, however, I think the play is less clear.
