[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It doesn't matter how parents "feel". Students are assessed on this... Just because you can do higher math doesn't necessarily mean you understand some basic concepts. There are millions of people walking around today like this... Once you ask them something outside of the box they crumble because they can't think for themselves and have simply learned rules.[/quote]

If you have mastered fractions and all their sundry manipulations you can add, multply, divide, factor and understand the associative, commutative and distributive properties.  That child should not be confined to 1st, 2nd or 3rd math grade curricula.    Unfortunately, most MCPS principals and teachers in MCPS elementary school here have [b]no[/b] fundamental grasp of math education.  This is a fact.

Sure if you can demonstrate that understanding when pressed you should move on, if you just now how to get the right answer you should not.  Thats the whole issue...  I have the feeling that most parents complaining do not know the distinction.[/quote]
