[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they do the math quizzes...but they aren't teaching the math facts in school. And they use crazy strategies to explain the concept, and the strategies are confusing many kids. Just because your kid knows his times tables doesn't mean that his classmates do. It's a real issue the schools are grappling with. We learned our times tables in second grade. Drilled into us at school (not at kumon or with a tutor). [/quote] Really? For several weeks, my third graders math homework consisted entirely of multiplication flashcards. In fact, they all had to make their own flashcards, then spend a few weeks studying them for homework.[/quote]
