[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like EM for struggling kids, but it is not great for the smart ones who don't have outside tutoring to make up for the lack of discipline in the curriculum. It will be interesting to see how Yu Ying is going to prepare kids for Algebra in grades 6+. Many schools get algebra 1 to kids in grade 7 or 8 at the latest, and EM just doesn't cut it for preparing kids at that level. Hopefully they will only use it for the lower grades and then come to their senses. Otherwise I imagine people will abandon ship in middle school so their kids aren't behind their peers (especially anyone moving on to a competitive or private high school). [/quote] EM doesn't help struggling students either. Most of our fifth graders are using their fingers for simple addition.[/quote]
