Perhaps the article below will help our group? "Greece school district to drop 'reform math' program in elementary schools" From the Rochester NY Democrat and Chronicle
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090323/NEWS01/903230335&referrer=NEWSFRONTCAROUSEL <http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090323/NEWS01/903230335&referrer=NEWSFRONTCAROUSEL> I'm not saying there's a right or wrong side to the issue of teaching math, I'm simply pointing out that there are strong opinions when it comes to educating children. It also goes on to say that the issues aren't always clear. Is it the program itself that's flawed? Is it a result of teacher training? Is it actually flawed when the students in the district did better than NY State average? Anyway, food for thought on a Monday morning. ~Karlie _______________________________________________ FourthGradeMath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath
