[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Complaints about private school math programs are usually at the lower school level. There is often a preference for traditional approaches and as much acceleration as possible. If you take a long view, all the best students end up pretty much in the same place in high school, even if they don't go into STEM fields. So focusing too much on when a child learns the multiplication tables or starts algebra is kind of pointless. [/quote] I agree with this -- often too much acceleration in the early grades leads to even more "gaps" and difficulties in later math. Students who have depth and understanding and who are able to do more than just follow the algorithm/rules tend to do better when they get to truly higher level math.[/quote]
