[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have personal experiences with MA schools, but I believe they have implemented CC back in 2012/2013, and their schools are still rated pretty high.  Maybe look into how MA implemented it.[/quote]

This is true and teachers in those schools are being grabbed up to help implement the CC in schools in other states.  My sister is one of them and, although she is well supported by her new principal, [b]she is having a very hard time convincing the other teachers (that teach the same grade) to throw out their 20 year old lesson plans and start over[/b], without text books.[/quote]

I think this is why some parents and teachers hate CC.  They have such a hard time of letting go of "this is how it used to be done, and we all turned out fine" perspective.[/quote]

That's just it - when 3rd and 4th graders still haven't even been introduced to fractions "because this is how we've always done it" it's *NOT* just fine.

As for the parents - I don't think many of the parents of today realize or understand the problems and just assume everything was fine as is.[/quote]
