[quote=Anonymous]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_mathematics Start here, pp. I was subjected to the new math in 7th grade. We didn't learn anything. Our parents launched a mutiny, the teacher actually left the school, and we went back to the traditional approach. This was a private school in 1987. Were you exposed to the new math as a child? Who remembers lattice? Wise up: mcps diversified so rapidly in the last decade. This, coupled with lagging wages and increased housing costs has prompted a serious level of inequality---particularly among African Americans and Hispanics...who comprise the segment of the student population dragging down test scores. Mcps is anxious to close the achievement gap (which is a good thing), but their attention is misplaced. Dumbing down the curriculum and changing the grading system (Ps, doing away with exams) won't address the real problem. [/quote]
