I can't imagine!Try learning it on the fly to help a kid with homework without making yourself look like an idiot
Combine that with how stupidly they handled covid, it's no wonder all math scores in all demographic groups were down in the last round of testing. First time ever!
I'm pretty sure they're in the same situation as parents, where they grew up learning it 1 way, and even paid for a degree to teach it that way and now have to totally change everything. And they have to do it as a job requirement, but I can bitch about it in front of the kid
Parents going psycho at school board meetings shouldn’t be bitching about whether or not kids wore masks they should be complaining about this stuff! They are apparently focusing on the wrong issue!
I'll guarantee ya that a mathematician didn't design such a f'ing retarded method.I'm pretty sure they're in the same situation as parents, where they grew up learning it 1 way, and even paid for a degree to teach it that way and now have to totally change everything.

I stay away from school board meetings.
Schools are just about getting kids into the next grade with as little problems as possible. Just politics. This new math is weird, but math in grade school is really about logical thinking and problem solving and this is just a different way about it. Weirds me out but the math is far from the top of the list of things to be concerned about in school these days. World is a mile away from what it was when I was my kids age
Biggest understatement I've seen you post! LOL!
The thing now is that information is everywhere, so what really needs to be taught is the process of filtering out all the bullshit and learning what is real information and applying that. When most of us grew up we had to figure out the solution to a problem. Now things are googled and that's just the way it is and the way it's really going to be... So the learning now needs to be focused on filtering out the bullshitI'll guarantee ya that a mathematician didn't design such a f'ing retarded method.
That had to come from some stupid administrative moron.
