[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually dumb down is going to make it worse. My son is 4. I have already decided that I need to instruct him on math myself at home because of all the bad things you hear here on math education. He is going to be fine. But the poor kids' parents may not be as math savvy as I am. And they are not going to be fine. If they really want to help the poor kids, they need to provide more direct instruction at their level and not evaluate them on these 21st century skills and be surprised that they cannot do math or read. [/quote] Actually, dumbing down is one way of solving the achievement gap. If you make a test so easy that 100% of students pass, presto! No gap. [/quote] True. Except SAT and ACT is still not dumb enough. The state test is almost there. Maybe one day SAT and ACT will also be dumb? [/quote]
